Guy Beaulne est un pionnier du développement de l'art dramatique au Québec et un représentant distingué du théâtre canadien dans divers milieux nationaux et internationaux. Sa carrière d'homme de théâtre revêt une remarquable unité d'action depuis une trentaine d'années. On retrouve Guy Beaulne dans une multitude d'initiatives et de réalisations dramatiques. Son rayonnement s'exerce ou s'est exercé par la qualité de ses réalisations, notamment à la radio et à la télévision du réseau de l'État, au Montreal Repertory Theater, au Canadian Repertory Theatre, à divers festivals, au Mountain Play House, au Rideau Vert, au théâtre d'été Chantecler. Il s'exerce aussi dans ses écrits de critique dramatique et dans un ouvrage intitulé : «Notre théâtre - conscience d'un peuple», qui a été imprimé en trois langues. M. Guy Beaulne a été le récipiendaire d'une dizaine de prix et de distinctions pour l'excellence de son oeuvre. Il est présentement Directeur général du Grand théâtre du Québec.

Dr. J. C. Beck is an outstanding internationally known research worker in Endocrinology. He has greatly advanced our knowledge of the mechanism of action of the pituitary growth hormone in man. He has done outstanding investigation on hormonal effects on metabolism. As a brilliant teacher and medical educator, he has farsighted and wise views. He has been President of the Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation and Vice-President of the Endocrine Society (U.S.A.). He is now Secretary-General of the International Society for Endocrinology and as such has done much to plan recent International Congresses in Endocrinology in London and Mexico.

Axel Becke is a scientific leader noted for his work in the application of Density Functional Theory (DFT) to molecules. His computational technique (NUMOL) achieved a level of computational precision unmatched by others and it remains a unique and powerful DFT benchmarking tool. His discrete integration procedure has been adopted in whole or in part by a large number of software developers/vendors who have modified conventional programmes to accommodate DFT. For his work, Dr. Becke has received a number of awards including the Medal of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science, the Noranda Lecture Award of the Canadian Society for Chemistry, the Queenès University Prize for Excellence in Research, and the Schroedinger Medal of the World Association of Theoretically Oriented Chemists. He receives an impressively large number of citations for his publications. However, the real impact of his work is evident in the numerous areas where chemists and physicists have used his methodologies to compute molecular properties of a vast number of complex molecular systems to a degree of accuracy which only a few years ago would have been unthinkable. Research colleagues describe his research contributions as ‘marvelous examples' of theoretical chemistry at its best.

Long Citation (for publication and press release) Clinical use of stem cells to treat incurable conditions such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes and breast cancer will be a reality in the near future because of the pioneering work of Leo Behie. He has developed new technology, reagents, and bioreactor protocols to effectively grow large numbers of rare stem cells outside the body, and direct the maturation of these stem cells to useful cell types. Successful transplantation of bioreactor expanded human neural stem cells into an animal model of Parkinson's disease has led to a groundbreaking clinical trial on human patients in collaboration with an international transplantation neurosurgeon.

Outstanding achievement in the field of Physical Chemistry. Author of twenty-one papers in the fields of ionic solutions and surface chemistry. Best known for his quantum mechanical treatments of the lithium fluoride molecule and of the surface energy of crystalline lithium fluoride. Important contributions to the evaluation of lattice sums and to the experimental determination of the surface energy of crystalline sodium chloride. In the latter work performed unexcelled determinations of heats of solution of finely divided sodium chloride. Techniques now being applied in the direct measurement of the heats of micelle formation.
