Be an upstander with us! You are more than you think you are!

We encourage students to use communication as a tool to aid in conflict resolution. Our program also encourages students to talk to a trusted adult, or for older students, finding a person they can trust so that they don't feel alone when they need help or have a problem. We discuss easy tools and assertive solutions to fix a problem!

Be a CHAMPION! Be an advocate in your community. Be a leader at your school. Support a fellow classmate or peer. Show respect and kindness to another. Stand up for someone when they are being put down. Promote positive change around you! These are all ways to be a champion!

WE OFTEN GET ASKED, "ARE YOU AN ANTI-BULLYING PROGRAM?"

This is a great question and we are so glad that it is asked! We are proud to say that we are NOT an anti-bullying program or presentation. In fact, you won't hear Ryan Laird, or any of our staff use those terms! We are a youth empowerment and motivational program, in the form of a very interactive concert! We love to focus on the positives, assertive solutions, and conflict resolution through communication. We do not touch on topics such as violence, suicide, or other sensitive matters. Our program is 100% positivity based and we are proud to present it!

Ryan Laird is a Two-Time Canadian Country Music Awards Nominated & Top 10 Hit Charting Recording Artist who's travelled all over Canada and the U.S.A to sing and speak about his own experiences of overcoming tougher times in school throughout his youth and how he followed his dreams to succeed in one of the world's most difficult industries, despite any negativity or obstacles that came his way.  


Our youth empowerment program focuses on building self-confidence, demonstrating resiliency, empathy, and inclusion, and teaches students by way of motivational music to believe in their goals, and become bigger than any negativity that may come their way. 


It is truly a life-changing experience for many students!

WHAT DOES THE RCMP SAY?

"Working with Ryan Laird and his Bigger Than That! team was a pleasure. Ryan lent his story and music to the "RCMPTalks: A national conversation on Bullying and Cyberbullying". Over 100 youth from across Canada's east coast participated (and numerous others live streamed the event) to watch Ryan engage and motivate young Canadians to stand up to bullying and to follow their dreams.


 The response from youth, teachers, police officers and those following along on social media (#RCMPTalks) were encouraging and positive. If you get a chance for Ryan to play at your school, I would certainly recommend it."


Louis Zuniga, RCMP, National Youth Strategy Manager
