Keynote Speaker

Felipe Calderón, former President of Mexico

We’re honored to welcome Felipe Calderón, former President of Mexico, to the EO One Canada Beyond Borders stage this June. Serving as President from 2006–2012, Calderón led Mexico through complex economic, political, and global challenges and remains a prominent voice in international leadership, public policy, and global affairs. A rare opportunity to hear directly from a leader who has shaped decisions at the highest level beyond borders, beyond theory, and into real-world impact.

For six years, Felipe Calderón led Mexico as President navigating the full reality of running a country, economy, institutions, public trust, and security while making high-stakes decisions under relentless scrutiny. In this keynote, he’ll bring a rare lens on leadership under pressure, including the era marked by Mexico’s intensified fight against organized crime and cartels. The takeaway for members is direct: how leaders think and act whethe cost of hesitation is real, the landscape is complex, and the decisions shape lives, systems, and legacy.

Speaker and Performance

Raine Maida, frontman of Our Lady Peace

Raine Maida is joining One Canada in Cancun, bringing a rare blend of artistry, leadership, and entrepreneurial thinking.

• Private beachfront bonfire performance: an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime set created exclusively for our group under the stars.

• Meet and greet access: attendees will have the opportunity for a more personal moment with Raine in a curated setting designed for real conversation, not a rushed line.

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.
