Michel Trudeau (October 2, 1975 – November 13, 1998) was the youngest son of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Margaret Trudeau.
Born in Ottawa, Ontario, Trudeau lived in Montreal and studied at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf before attending Dalhousie University to study Microbiology.
Trudeau died as the result of an avalanche while skiing at British Columbia's Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park on November 13, 1998; he was 23 years old. He was swept into Kokanee Lake and unable to reach the shore. His companions were unable to effect a rescue, and Trudeau drowned. An extensive search was launched, but his body has never been found. The lake's high altitude and limited days of open waters each year prevented divers from completing the search. The Trudeau family called off the recovery and later created a chalet nearby as a memorial to their youngest son.
A varietal of rose discovered by Betsy Dening, a British Columbia horticulturalist and Trudeau's aunt, debuted at the World Rose Festival in 2010 as the "Michel Trudeau Memorial Rosebush". Sales of the rosebush benefit the Canadian Avalanche Foundation.
In honour of Michel, his brother Justin Trudeau selected the date of what would have been his brother's 37th birthday - October 2, 2012 - to announce his bid for leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. The Liberal Party won the national election on October 19, 2015, making Trudeau as the next prime minister of Canada.
