Overview: POSTIVELY RESILIENT: Stuttering, Rapping and Not Giving Up – Peter Joynt
Rapper and stutterer Peter Joynt has heard it all. He’s been bullied and teased, and he’s been told his music would never amount to anything. What those people didn’t account for was Peter’s resiliency and positive outlook on life. He’s managed to parlay that into a successful music career, writing songs for the likes of the Ottawa Senators and RogersTV. He’s also won one of Canada’s most coveted contest prizes – the car in Tim Horton’s Rollup the Rim to Win! He continues to reach for his dreams and encourages others to do the same. He does all this in a presentation that is a mix story-telling and live musical performance. He’s open to presenting to all grades and insists his presentation is one like no others seen in schools. Standing ovations are not uncommon for Peter – even at the High School level.

Overview: Constable Tad MILLINE always had a dream that he wanted to grow up to be a Police Officer.  From the age of five, Tad was locked in a basement until the age of seventeen.  Growing up in a home rampant with abuse and neglect in Ontario Canada, Tad held onto that dream for many years.  Tad was also secretly battling the fact that he was gay.  After years of hardship at home and being relentlessly bullied at school, Tad found a way through the darkness to achieve his dream of being a Police Officer.  In October 2011, Tad read about a fifteen year old named Jamie HUBLEY who had committed suicide after enduring many years of bullying, first for being a figure skater and in his teens for being gay.  When Tad read about this suicide, he decided to do something about it.  Tad created the Internationally-recognized, and award-winning program, Bullying Ends Here.  Today, Tad shares his harrowing story from the heart, holding nothing back.  Tad connects with his audience like very few can.  Bullying Ends Here has been credited with saving more than 40 young lives, receiving more than 30,000 emails (Tad responds to them all himself) and taken in by more than a quarter million people around the World, all in four short years!  It should be noted that Tad does all of this on his own time and refuses to be paid for his time or efforts.  He is THAT passionate!  Tad’s efforts have been recognized by every level of Government in Canada, including being recognized in the Canadian Senate.  Bullying Ends Here has also been endorsed by several Sporting Figures, Celebrities and the Canadian Prime Minister.  As Tad always says; 'Together, we will not only change lives, but SAVE them’!
