Guest Speaker

In September of 2009 at the age of 21, Anthony Lue’s life changed in the blink of an eye when an industrial accident left him with a severe spinal cord injury. The provincial athlete was paralyzed from the waist down and his hopes and dreams for the future world-class athlete were shattered. Anthony knew he had to learn to view the world through a new lens and overcome daily barriers in an effort to live a life that was both fulfilling and inspiring. So, despite his spinal cord injury, he made a conscious decision to persevere, build new dreams, and triumph in the face of life’s adversities.

Today, Anthony is an entrepreneur who is building a career in the field of accessibility as well as various other consulting services. Anthony has spoken at a variety of schools, corporate events, television, radio as well as being an ambassador for two of Canada’s largest accessibility trade shows, The People in Motion show and the Abilities Expo.

Recently graduating on the Dean’s list from the University of Arizona as a dual scholarship athlete with a degree in Rehabilitation Studies and Services, Anthony shares with his audiences how they too can persevere and succeed against all odds.
