On October 5th, 1982, Laurie Skreslet became the first Canadian to summit Mount Everest.
Since then, Laurie has recognized the parallel between climbing the mountain and the challenges people face daily in the business community. By sharing these similarities with 2000 organizations, Laurie has become an expert motivational speaker and touched the lives of more than 500,000 people.
But Laurie hasn't retired from climbing. Over the years he has participated in more than 30 world-class expeditions into the Canadian Rockies, Nepal, South America and India. And Laurie continues to operate his Business Leadership and Challenge Courses in the Canadian Rockies.
Laurie has written a bestselling book "To the Top of Everest". It was nominated in two categories, the Children's Choice Award and the Canadian Book of the Year for Children Award in 2004.
2007 marked the 25th Anniversary of Laurie’s successful summit of Mount Everest. To celebrate this achievement, CBC-TV commissioned the production of a two-part television drama, recreating the events of the climb entitled "The Climb". The 2nd part of this drama was filmed in June 2006 on Mount Everest. The production has aired on CBC and the outdoor network. Copies are now available through our office.
