CONVOCATION 2023 | GeorgianCollege.ca 13
Jon Montgomery's life has been a whirlwind since his Olympic win in skeleton
racing at the Vancouver Whistler Olympics in 2010. His big-time podium moment
and his now-famous victory "beer-walk" through Whistler Village have paved the
way for Montgomery to continue to find himself on Canadian TV.
Today, as the host of The Amazing Race Canada, Jon travels across the country,
and all over the world, filming and sharing insights with audiences of all stripes
on what makes Canada great and why the goals we set for ourselves are only as
achievable as we believe they are.
Jon embraces any opportunity to engage with live and virtual audiences,
auctioneering something sentimental for your charity or inspiring your attendees
with a parade-of-stories, chronicling a young mans journey from the flatlands of the
prairies to the top of the Olympic podium - reminding us all that it's alright to be
proudly Canadian and celebrate the good times along the way!
Georgian presented Jon with a Georgian College Board of Governors'
Honorary Bachelor of Applied Studies degree in 2015.
