Michael was presented the opportunity to be featured on the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust (QCT) website. This international platform, organized through the British Royal Family, recognizes young adults making positive changes in their community. Michael’s story is shared amongst other change makers around the world.
Michael was recently appointed by the Education Minister to MACSE (Minister’s Advisory Council on Special Education.) It's a provincial council that advises the Minister on matters related to special education. This is another opportunity for Michael to share his voice and perspective with individuals that can make positive changes in Ontario.
In March 2019 a dream came true for Michael, he met one of his idols. Michael has always been a fan of Ellen Degeneres. Her commitment to spreading kindness in the world and being yourself has always inspired Michael—plus she is pretty funny. On March 3rd, Michael travelled to Toronto to see Ellen’s show and was invited to be part of a meet-and-greet before the show. He was thrilled to win these tickets from the Niagara Outlets as they recognized the impact Michael was making in his community. Michael hopes to speak with Ellen about his book and maybe one day be on her show to tell the world about it. This was a huge highlight in his life.
