We are thrilled to announce that Orlando Bowen, renowned motivational speaker, resilience coach, and former CFL athlete, will be the Keynote Speaker at canfitpro Global 2025, taking place August 15–16 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre!

This year’s theme is SOAR—a call to rise above challenges, embrace innovation, and reach new heights in fitness, wellness, and leadership. There’s no one more equipped to embody and ignite that vision than Orlando Bowen.

Who is Orlando Bowen?

A dynamic leader and game-changer, Orlando is more than just a former pro football player—he’s a change agent who has spent over 15 years inspiring over 300,000 individuals to lead with resilience, purpose, and passion. As the founder of One Voice One Team Youth Leadership, Orlando has dedicated his life to empowering others to rise above adversity and unlock their potential.

But his story doesn’t stop there. In a life-altering encounter more than a decade ago, Orlando was brutally assaulted by two undercover police officers—an incident that left him physically and emotionally scarred. Instead of allowing that trauma to define him, Orlando chose forgiveness, strength, and purpose. His journey from victim to visionary is a testament to the power of perseverance and the human spirit.

Why Orlando, Why Now?

In a post-pandemic world where burnout, change fatigue, and uncertainty still linger, we need a keynote that speaks to more than just professional growth—we need one that inspires personal transformation. Orlando’s message of resilience, leadership, and lifting others as we rise aligns perfectly with this year’s SOAR theme.

Attendees can expect an unforgettable keynote that blends raw storytelling, high-energy engagement, and practical takeaways to help you elevate your mindset, reconnect with your purpose, and lead with passion.
