The Podium of Life Ski Academy is excited to be bringing in a variety of guest speakers.
Next Monday, Jonaven Moore, one of the creators of the movie Deeper, will be presenting to the class. Moore was one of the athletes who rode off huge mountains to create this epic movie. He will give students insight into the trials and tribulations of big mountain movie creations. The presentation will be open to the public. If you’re interested in attending contact podiumoflife@shaw.ca.
This week Rob Wood, one of the pioneers of ice climbing and extreme rock climbing, spoke to the students. He reminded them of the beautiful area they live in and encouraged them to take advantage of the outdoors. He also exposed them to some of the extreme experiences he has had in his life.
The students also learned the atrocities of war through stories from Mark Campbell. He was in Afghanistan during the crisis and lost his legs during extraction of one of his colleagues.
He graphically described the events while in Afghanistan and explained about his present condition. Students left with an appreciation for their own health and for their own peaceful Canada.
