David Carruthers: Storyteller, Motivator & Champion for Young Minds

David Carruthers is a longtime children’s-book author, entertainer, motivational speaker, and social-impact advocate, a passionate believer in the power of imagination, resilience, and self-belief. Based in London, Ontario, he has spent over 25 years crafting stories that spark wonder in children and hope in youth.

With 18 books published since the mid-1990s, from his debut The Bird That Wanted to Fly to his gratitude-inspired I Have, David weaves magic with words.

But David’s greatest gift may be what he brings to life on stage and in conversation. As a motivational speaker, he has travelled to hundreds of schools and youth-centres across continents, delivering powerful messages of perseverance, creative courage, and self-belief.

Special Musical Guest: Scott Bollert

We’re excited to welcome Scott Bollert to the Christmas Pop-Up lineup. Scott is a London-based singer and front-man of the Canadian rock band After The Lounge, known for his smooth jazz vocals and tribute shows like A Taste of Sinatra.

At the event, Scott will be performing a few favourite tunes. Mixing holiday songs with classic crooner-style hits to bring that cozy, feel-good concert vibe to the afternoon.
