Prince Albert will be welcoming Olympic gold medalist and Stanley Cup champion Theoren Fleury to our community this weekend.
The May 14 event called “The Power of Me Too” will be happening on the north side of the river at the P.A. Wildlife Federation from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The event, put on by the Shell River Recreation Club and sponsored by the Optimist Club of Prince Albert is meant to help build a new outdoor hockey rink. They’re inviting the public and children to come see Fleury and interact through question and answer and a presentation. He will also have an autograph session and there will be a supper.
“Theo Fleury’s message is, especially, for parents and for teenagers, but not only. For parents to be aware that their children can face at any time some negative vices and actions,” said event chair, Victor Corduban in a media release. “For teenagers, whom will be future parents, it is good to know, one small aspect of how and what to avoid in their journey with their future families. All social categories of them should be aware of some threatens that are still influence/affect our/the modern lives.”
Besides having a successful hockey career Fleury is a two time best selling author of Playing with Fire and Conversations With a Rattlesnake. He is also a healing motivator and has knowledge in relational trauma.
“Theo’s mission statement is to help as many people get to where they want to go,” as stated in a media release. “It has taken shape in many forms, whether meeting people for a brief moment on the street or as a dynamic inspirational speaker with the intention of creating healing through conversation. He loves people, their stories and their journeys. He is committed to daily transformation through personal growth through self-reflection, mindfulness and new action. His compassionate spirit allows others to feel safe and whole through experiencing his vulnerability.”
Fleury was supposed to be in Prince Albert in October 2021 for an event by Catholic Family Services called An Evening with Theo Fleury but was cancelled after he made comments on his Twitter page regarding vaccine passports.
In one of the posts, which has since been deleted, Fleury said that vaccine passports would be used by pedophiles to track children. He also attacked the federal government in another post accusing them of “medical tyranny.”
Tickets are available at Source for Sports and Econo Lumber, or by calling Vince 306-961-6329 or Victor at 306-631-6599.
