Headline Speaker and Performance

Raine Maida, frontman of Our Lady Peace

Raine Maida

Raine Maida, frontman of Our Lady Peace and four-time Juno Award winner, is one of Canada’s most influential rock artists. Beyond music, Maida is a committed humanitarian, co-launching War Child’s Busking for Change and using his platform to support global causes. His work continues to blend activism with artistry in powerful, authentic ways. “I was first drawn to music because of the inherent hope it provided me,” he says. “Social activism carries that same promise, and the two together have shaped and taught me more than I could ever repay.” In 2014, Maida was appointed to the Order of Canada alongside his wife, Chantal Kreviazuk, recognizing their artistic and humanitarian contributions. Their 2019 documentary, I’m Going to Break Your Heart, offers an intimate look at their creative process and shared musical journey.
