Presented by the Empower2Recover Foundation in proud partnership with Hard Knox Talks

After the incredible impact of our first event, we’re coming back even stronger. Saskatoon’s Battle for Recovery #2 is more than just a gathering, it’s a bold stand for hope, healing, and human connection. This is where stories of survival turn into fuel for transformation, where lived experience becomes the loudest voice in the room, and where no one has to battle alone.

This event brings together powerful speakers, changemakers, and everyday warriors who have fought through addiction, trauma, and mental health and recovery challenges — and are now living proof that recovery is possible. Through raw storytelling, healing conversations, and community support, we aim to break stigma and ignite change.

Whether you’re in recovery, seeking it, supporting someone, or simply passionate about mental wellness — this day is for you.

✅ Inspiring speakers

✅ Community empowerment

✅ Nourishing connections

✅ And the energy of people who believe in second chances

Come be part of the movement. Come feel the hope. Come fight the Battle for Recovery with us.
