If you have kids, sooner or later this may come up. Was awesome! Got to go as parent volunteer after me and son did application and he was picked, luckily wife's work was a corporate sponser so she got her and daughter tickets.
Pretty inspiring for youth, mayor of Calgary, Premier of Alberta, CEOs of Keg, Subway, Royal Bank and Flames all spoke, Hedley, Lights, Shawn Desmond and a few other popular bands played.
Martin Sheen and Larry King both spoke, great quote from Mr. King "I never learned anything while I was talking". Highlight for me. One Drop had Cirque perform and they gave out 15,000 "Drops" that are somehow radio signaled to light up with music, made for some very cool visuals.
Was all filmed for CTV and Much Music, they say 5.4 million Canadians or about 1 in 6 will watch. Very impressive!
They are heading east, Manitoba next, really hope some of you and your kids take it in!
3 minute vid worth a watch to see some of the leaders who speak (changes city by city though); Dali Lama, Jane Goodall, Shaq and Magic are a few very notables.
