Award-Winning PoP Music Artist-Inez-PointInez Point, Award-Winning Pop Music Artist

Inez Point is an award-winning pop music artist with powerhouse talent and universal appeal. As one of Canada’s top Indigenous musicians, her blending of traditional native sounds with a love for contemporary pop has brought the best of her culture to the mainstream world. She has achieved much in her career so far, including co-hosting the 2016 Indspire Awards in Vancouver. Her latest album, Burn Me Down, was nominated for a JUNO Award and Western Canadian Music Award, and received Indigenous Peoples Choice Music Awards for Best Pop Album and Best Producer/Engineer. Inez is also a registered nurse, mother of two, and a nationally-recognized role model, just as dedicated to realizing her own dreams as she is to inspiring others to reach for theirs. 

Skid-Row-CEO-Joe-Roberts-tallJoe Roberts, President and CEO of Skid Row  

Joe Roberts is President and CEO of a successful multimedia company, who has faced and overcome many challenges. His business solutions have made millions for clients, across a variety of business sectors. He formed multimedia company Mindware, and in less than four years, led it to an 800% increase in business – making his first million before he was 35. Most amazing is that in 1989, Joe was living on the streets of Vancouver as a homeless skid row derelict. Through perseverance, determination and resilience, Joe pulled himself out of the darkness and despair, to become a highly respected business and community leader. He now uses his amazing story, insightful humour, and solid business experience to inspire individuals and organizations to achieve their own remarkable goals.
