Dr Dave Williams

Dave Williams

We have a true Canadian hero coming to our Oakville show! Dr. Dave Williams is a Canadian legend and has broken several records in space and under water. As an emergency room specialist, former hospital CEO, aquanaut, and astronaut — plus the only non-American to have a directorship at NASA — his journey is inspiring. He holds records for the most spacewalks by a Canadian in a single mission, the deepest saturation dive by a Canadian aquanaut, and the longest space mission by a Canadian astronaut; plus, he was the first Canadian to command a spacecraft. With riveting talks on risk, leadership, resilience, teamwork, motivation, and well-being, Dr. Williams brings his vibrant experiences to life. He’ll leave you inspired, too, and ready to conquer new challenges.

Mark your calendars, as he will only be at the Oakville Spring Home and Garden Show on Sunday, April 7th, at 1:00 p.m., and the Burlington show on Sunday, April 21st, also at 1:00 p.m.
