Rob Stewart Received Posthumous Canadian Senate 150 Medal

Canadian filmmaker Rob Stewart was honoured with a Senate 150 Anniversary medal on Wednesday, reports Tribute, during a ceremony in Ottawa attended by the late “Sharkwater” director’s parents, Brian and Sandy Stewart, in addition to their daughter Alexandra and son-in-law Roger.

Stewart, who passed away in early February while diving in the Florida Keys, was honoured posthumously by Senator Michael McDonald, who led the charge to pass Bill S-238, which would make Canada one of the first nations in the world to support a national ban on shark fins.
