Whitby, Ont. resident Mike Shoreman was being recognized for his feat of paddle-boarding across the five great lakes back in 2022.

“There was a lot of hate, and a lot of vitriol.”
Shoreman was meeting with Trudeau to be commended for his tireless work on advocacy for mental health, particularly his feat of becoming the first person with a disability to cross the Great Lakes.
