"Thank you for bringing your "To The Top Canada" tour to our school. The sincere enthusiasm that infused your presentation truly energized us all-students, teachers, parents. Your open, down-to-earth manner enabled you to develop an instantaneous rapport with your audience and quickly gain their respect. In an era when self indulgence and instant gratification appear to predominate our value system, it was most refreshing to be exposed to your message:
  • commitment to a purpose greater than oneself;
  • the role of sacrifice in achieving one's goals,
  • perseverance in overcoming obstacles,
  • responsible citizenship,
  • a passion for the Canadian way of life, and perhaps most important of all,
  • that we, individually, can make a difference-if we care enough to.
Chris, you are an inspiration to us all and perhaps, the wake-up call we are all desperately in need of. Keep up the good work."
Brian Fisher
