Speaker Kevin Burns as been confirmed for the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show, which takes place Wednesday, June 6 and Thursday, June 7 at the Exhibition Grounds.

Burns, whose website (www.kevburns.com) describes him as the "world's first instigational speaker," will be the guest speaker for the luncheon on Thursday, June 7. Burns' presentation intends to instigate the change to turn ordinary people into "extraordinary leaders in their own lives."
