Founder and Executive Producer

Meet Dustyn Baulkham, a passionate trailblazer on a mission to create a world where unicorns roam freely and inclusivity reigns supreme! Graduating from UBC Okanagan with the Bachelor of Management program, Dustyn rode the finance industry rollercoaster in Kelowna, Chilliwack, Vancouver and London, Ontario for a daring decade before seizing the moment to launch his own consulting empire.

Back in the picturesque embrace of Kelowna, Dustyn embarked on an impressive adventure, serving as the intrepid Workforce Development Officer with the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission for a two-year thrill. Next, he donned the Executive Director's cape at the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan for another glorious two years. The crown jewel in his repertoire was a three-year reign as the fearless General Manager of the Kelowna Pride Society, and now he continues his majestic legacy by masterminding the annual Pride Festival, dazzling the world for two thrilling years.

With an unyielding passion for creating a more equitable and inclusive society, Dustyn recognized the yearning for unique events and experiences tailored to the 2SLGBTQ+ community and their allies. Thus, he hatched his latest venture, the mighty Rebellious Unicorns Production Company Inc., destined to disrupt the events landscape.

In its triumphant fifth year, Rebellious Unicorns orchestrates a dazzling array of high-quality events, including Peak Pride, a winter wonderland of Pride festivities spanning Big White, Sun Peaks, SilverStar, Mount Washington and RED Mountain – a feat unheard of before.

Always seeking ways to infuse the world with more inclusivity magic, Dustyn earned his stripes as a certified presenter of the Canadian LGBT Chamber of Commerce's renowned LGBT Tourism Inclusion Workshop. He waves his wand both locally in Kelowna and across BC's enchanting interior mountain resorts, spreading the message of diversity far and wide.

Dustyn's enchanting charm and groundbreaking achievements did not go unnoticed, as he was knighted with the prestigious 2020 Young LGBT+ Entrepreneur of the Year title by Canada's LGBT Chamber of Commerce, cementing his place in the pantheon of visionary leaders.

So, fasten your seatbelts and join Dustyn Baulkham on this thrilling ride to make the world more inclusive, one magical event at a time!
