JR LaRose Will Be Taking the Stage at Vision Quest!

Grey Cup Champion, Community Leader & Member of One Arrow First Nation

We are excited to announce that Vision Quest, Canada’s leading Indigenous business, community and economic development conference, is returning this year with two highly inspirational keynote speakers.

CFL veteran and 2011 Grey Cup champion, JR LaRose, will kick things off as the keynote presenter for Day 1 at the Conference. As a proud member of One Arrow First Nation, JR’s story is truly inspiring. Growing up in low-income housing surrounded by poverty, drugs, and abuse, he overcame the odds to become a professional football player and accomplished speaker. His journey breaks down racial and generational barriers, bringing hope and humanity to us all.

Join us for JR’s incredible story Wednesday, May 17, 2023, at the RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg.
