*Rob Stewart & I*
The graduating class at the high school I work at had the incredible opportunity to hear Rob Stewart speak at their "Grad Breakfast". Rob Stewart has become a leader and hero in the anti-shark finning movement all across the world with his incredible documentary Sharkwater! Millions of people from each corner of the earth have credited Rob with opening their eyes to the crisis our planet is currently in. Surprisingly, I did NOT have anything to do with scheduling Rob into my school - it was actually done entirely by the student council committee. Rob spoke to the 18 year olds about conservation, speaking up for yourself, the planet and most concerning - the state of our oceans. He was very inspiring and definitely got the message across to many teens who would have been more worried about their next text message or what they would be doing for the weekend!

It was fantastic being able to meet Rob in person - I was able to get both my Sharkwater DVD and coffee table book signed as well as some pictures with him! Rob will be in Toronto all summer working tirelessly on encouraging Toronto councillors to ban the sale of shark fins in our great city as well as edited his new up and coming conservation DVD tentatively titles Rise Up!
