Brett Gardiner, Canadian Professional Rodeo Announcer of the Year

CHASE THE GOOD Across the Prairies! CLHbid.com is proud to partner with Brett Gardiner LIVE and kick off the CHASE THE GOOD tour at Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon, MB. As farmers ourselves, we know what a farmer or rancher goes through in their day to day routines that are often unseen. The stress is real, the numbers are big, and the risk is often overwhelming. Brett Gardiner is the most-awarded announcer in Western sports history. Having been named the Canadian Pro Rodeo Announcer of the Year for the past 12 seasons, Brett can be found behind the microphone at many of the industry's most celebrated events including the Calgary Stampede and PBR Canada. But more than just an award-winning wordsmith, Brett is a strong advocate for mental health and wellness and has quickly become one of the most sought-after speakers in the arena of mental performance and motivation. Brett often speaks candidly about his journey, and through his own experiences, he works to inspire and educate others to help them live their very best life or in his own words ‘Chase the Good’. When not travelling across North America, Brett can be found in his hometown of Sylvan Lake, AB, at his Momentous Performance headquarters, working as a performance coach and counsellor. Gardiner and his wife and three children also operate the Chase the Good movement across the prairies. This charitable organization encourages humankind to chase what is good in the world. Join us for an incredible opportunity to hear Brett Gardiner LIVE – you won’t want to miss it!
