Speaker/ Dancer
Catherine Wreford was born and raised in Winnipeg and is a true inspiration and a force to be reckoned with. She performed at the Stratford Festival, on Broadway, played roles in movies and TV shows, ran a mortgage company, became a nurse, starred in 10 performances with Rainbow Stage, Dry Cold Productions and choreographed and performed at RMTC. She recently played Princess Diana at Theatre Aquarius and RMTC. On June 24, 2013 she was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer after the birth of her second child and was given 2-6 years to live. Undeterred, Catherine defied the odds and embraced her true calling as a performer and a motivational speaker. Her triumph on Season 8 of The Amazing Race Canada, alongside her best friend Craig Ramsay, amplified her mission to raise awareness and find a cure for brain cancer. Catherine is a living testament to the indomitable human spirit, an unwavering advocate for life, and an empowering voice that encourages us all to “run your own amazing race.”
