“Kaleb was Algonquin College’s featured speaker for our online monthly speaker series initiative to help bring our campus community together during the pandemic. We got such amazing feedback from Kaleb’s talk and our campus left feeling so inspired and grateful. It was exactly what I had envisioned it to be and am very thankful to have had Kaleb share his story during this uncertain time. His platform was dynamic, he was well-spoken, and most importantly, really connected with our staff and students. This is a young man that is making a difference and his story inspires what communities can accomplish together.”

“The event was excellent and Kaleb was superb. He showed up early and was even asking committee members if he could help with the setup. He stayed after the event and chatted with the committee members. Lastly, his speech was one of the best I have heard. He used humour in light of his challenges, and he was really engaged in the Q&A. People around town are still talking about the event. Simply put, Kaleb is one special guy with enormous potential.”
