Transforming Practices Conference 2026

Join us to hear Tyler Smith share about his experiences navigating mental health and grief in the face of tragedy. He’ll share details about his life over the last seven years, the experiences he’s gone through, and the lessons he’s learned along the way. Tyler and his partner Kat recently won Season 9 of the Amazing Race Canada as well. From compassion, empathy, perspective and many topics in between, Tyler aims to create a space where individuals feel welcomed and appreciated through his storytelling. Public speaking has become one of Tyler’s greatest passions and he hopes that attendees will leave the session feeling hopeful and inspired.
Along with public speaking, Tyler has been able to co-host the ‘Bromance’ podcast with Dylan Playfair of the hit show Letterkenny. Bromance is all about helping men facilitate those bromance like connections and chatting with individuals who share their stories of triumph and hardship and how vital their support system was for all of those times.
Lastly, Tyler has founded his mental health awareness clothing line called ‘Not Alone Co.’ Not Alone is all about helping facilitate meaningful conversations around mental health with the messaging that is presented on Not Alone’s variety of apparel. Not Alone donates portions of the proceeds to different charities and foundations across Canada including Jack.org. Tyler hopes to build a lasting community with Not Alone that focuses on vulnerability and conversation.
