If I Can...
Thursday February 19, 2026 2:20pm - 3:20pm MST
RDP MAIN STAGE/ AC117 (ARTS CENTRE) @ 100 College Blvd, Red Deer, AB T4N 5H5
The limitations we face in life are often the ones we place on ourselves. Chris Koch’s inspirational “If I Can” presentation is about making the most out of life, with a focus on appreciating what we have instead of worrying about what we don’t.Despite being born without arms and legs, Koch didn’t let limitations and obstacles stand in the way of achieving his goals and dreams. He still grew up working on his family farm, and has spent his adult life snowboarding, running marathons, and travelling independently.

Sharing experiences and funny anecdotes from his life, Koch leaves his audiences motivated and empowered to build the life they dream of.
