The action-packed fun-filled day begins at 9:45 am and wraps up at 2:15 pm.  Students will receive lunch, OELS swag, and leadership development opportunities in small group workshop settings in addition to first-class keynote speakers.  The focus is on practical skills, attitudes, and topics that students can take back to make their school community an even better place than they found it.

We are thrilled to have Sarah Wells with us as our keynote speaker for OELS 2020!
​
In addition to being a world-class Olympic athlete, Pan-Am games medalist and multi-time Canadian National Champion hurdler, Sarah is an inspiring speaker and great role model.
Her personal story of belief and dedication in the face of obstacles and injury are the backdrop to her stirring messages of hope, perseverance, and belief that we all have within us what it takes to achieve our dreams.

All of Canada will be getting to know Sarah better this summer as she and her partner, sprinter Sam Effah, compete in Season 7 of the Amazing Race on CTV.
