Federation Council is set to host renowned motivational speaker, Warren Davies, famously known as the "Unbreakable Farmer," with two free community events in Oaklands and Urana this September.
Warren's powerful and authentic presentation draws from his own personal journey, offering valuable insights on overcoming adversity, building resilience, and fostering mental well-being.
Federation Council Mayor, Cheryl Cook, said the events are a great opportunity for the community.
"We are incredibly proud to bring Warren Davies to our community," Mayor Cook said. "His message is one of hope and resilience, and it's so important that we continue to have open conversations about mental health in our rural communities."
Warren openly shares his personal struggles and lessons learned, emphasizing the importance of choice—to adapt, seek help, and reinvent oneself. His down-to-earth approach makes his story relevant to people of all ages and backgrounds.
"We believe his story will resonate deeply with our residents, encouraging us all to prioritize our well-being and support one another," said Mayor Cook.
Warren said he is looking forward to connecting with the local community.
"I feel very privileged to be invited to Oaklands and Urana, to connect with the local community," said Warren. "I share my story to inspire you to share yours—it's the way humans connect, to feel heard and understood. It's also a great way to forge friendships, and a few laughs in there don't go astray either!"
