Winner of two National Magazine Awards, Dr. Gawande is a MacArthur Fellow, as well as the winner of the Lewis Thomas Award for scientific writing.听

Atul Gawande believes that society must take a step back and look at new ways to practice medicine 鈥� with fewer cowboys and more pit crews: 鈥淥ur medical systems are broken. Doctors are capable of extraordinary (and expensive) treatments, but we are losing our core focus: actually caring for people.鈥�

Doctor of Science, honoris causa
Douglas J. Cardinal, O.C., F.R.A.I.C., F.R.C.A., M.R.S.C.
B.Arch. (University of Texas)

Born in Alberta of Metis and Blackfoot heritage, Douglas Joseph Cardinal has dedicated his life to creating beautiful, thriving and harmonious environments. He is one of a small number of architects whose body of work has defined a uniquely Canadian style: rooted in the land and shaped by local culture and the forces of nature.
One of Mr. Cardinal's first projects outside Alberta and the Northwest Territories brought Prairie expressionism to central Canada through the design of the Canadian Museum of Civilization - now Canadian Museum of History 鈥� in Gatineau, Quebec. Acknowledged internationally as a technologically complex building that reframed museum architecture, the CMH is a culturally significant building that was designed to accommodate a shifting perspective on Indigenous history and national culture.听

For more than five decades, Mr. Cardinal has worked in harmony with his clients and his community to produce a breathtaking collection of award-winning buildings that are artistically original and always well crafted, intelligently planned, and not merely beautiful but delightful.听

As one of Canada鈥檚 most celebrated architects, in 2006, Douglas Cardinal was conferred the designation of 鈥淲orld Master of Contemporary Architecture鈥� and the following year, was honoured as one of four Canadian architects chosen by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and featured on a special series of Canadian postage stamps.

N茅 en Alberta de descendance m茅tisse et pied-noir, Douglas Joseph Cardinal a consacr茅 sa vie 脿 cr茅er des espaces o霉 beaut茅, harmonie et bien-锚tre se c么toient. Il compte parmi les rares architectes dont l鈥檈nsemble de l鈥櫯搖vre a d茅fini un style canadien distinct, enracin茅 dans le territoire et fa莽onn茅 par la culture locale et les forces de la nature.
L鈥檜n des premiers projets architecturaux de M.听Cardinal 脿 avoir vu le jour 脿 l鈥檈xt茅rieur de l鈥橝lberta et des Territoires du Nord-Ouest a amen茅 l鈥檈xpressionnisme des Prairies vers le centre du Canada听: le Mus茅e canadien des civilisations - maintenant le Mus茅e canadien de l鈥檋istoire 鈥� de Gatineau, au Qu茅bec. La complexit茅 technologique du MCH a red茅fini l鈥檃rchitecture mus茅ale et lui a valu une reconnaissance internationale. L鈥櫭ヾifice rev锚t une importance culturelle cruciale puisque sa conception vise 脿 harmoniser l鈥檋istoire autochtone et la culture nationale.听

Depuis plus de 50听ans, en collaboration avec ses clients et sa communaut茅, M.听Cardinal a produit une impressionnante collection de constructions architecturales prim茅es qui d茅notent une originalit茅 artistique et dont la conception est raffin茅e et intelligente. Ses r茅alisations sont plus que belles 脿 regarder, elles 茅merveillent les sens.听

Figurant parmi les architectes canadiens les plus connus, Douglas Cardinal a re莽u le titre de 芦听Ma卯tre mondial de l鈥檃rchitecture contemporaine听禄 en 2006. L鈥檃nn茅e suivante, il a 茅t茅 honor茅 comme l鈥檜n des quatre architectes canadiens choisis par l鈥橧nstitut royal d鈥檃rchitecture du Canada et son visage est apparu sur une s茅rie sp茅ciale de timbres-poste canadiens.

Arthur B. McDonald, C.C., O.Ont., O.N.S., F.R.S., F.R.S.C., Nobel Laureate
B.Sc., M.Sc. (Dalhousie University), Ph.D. (California Institute of Technology)

Canadian physicist, Arthur McDonald studies neutrinos 鈥� tiny subatomic particles that are one of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The findings of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory Collaboration that he led, first published in late-2001 and mid-2002, were heralded as a breakthrough discovery. The discovery helped recast the fundamental scientific understandings of how matter works by provided evidence that the 鈥淪tandard Model鈥� of particle physics was incomplete. Dr. McDonald鈥檚 research demonstrated clearly that neutrinos change their identities on their way to Earth from the Sun. This discovery gave credence to theories that neutrinos have a mass greater than zero. For his scientific leadership leading to this result, he was co-recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics together with Professor Takaaki Kajita of the University of Tokyo. He has also received many other scientific honours and accolades in Canada and around the world.

It has been said that some people can change how we see the world, Dr. Arthur B. McDonald has changed the way we see the universe.
