Hey You're That Skating Dude, Aren't you?...

Born and raised in Alberta, Browning is a four-time Canadian figure skating champion and four-time World Champion. He represented Canada in three Winter Olympics, and was given the privilege of carrying the Canadian flag during the opening ceremonies of the 1994 games in Norway. Browning's other achievements are numerous, including three Canadian Professional Championships, three World Professional Championships, a Lou Marsh Trophy for top Canadian athlete and many more over the years.

During the 1988 World Championships in Hungary, Browning landed the first quadruple jump ever in competition. This accomplishment is listed in the Guinness Book of Records. His energy and talent are welcomed by his fans, and embraced by his fellow skaters. An absolute craftsman on skates, Kurt's natural humor and rapport with the audience will always be an obvious highlight of his performance. It's no surprise Kurt landed in Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 1994.

A surprise in his career was the CBC hit show Battle Of The Blades where figure skaters were paired up with ex NHL hockey players to create a new form of skating. Kurt co-hosted for 3 seasons with Ron Maclean as host and took over as head judge for the 4th and final season of the show.

After 28 years on the cast of Stars on Ice, Kurt became the Director/Choreographer, and made his directorial debut during the 2012 tour. Since then adding Choreographer for Cirque du Soleil to his list of accomplishments.

There is no end to the interesting stories this man has to tell! During this Speaker Series you can look forward to hearing Kurt's incredible stories of his
time choreographing for Cirque du Soleil, as well as his experience being a c ommentator for Figure Skating at the Sochi and Pyeongchang Olympic Games. He'll talk of balancing his life as a father to two great boys, and of course - their beloved cottage.
