Dr. Michael Ames is a foremost example of the creative scholar who seriously and methodically exerts an influence on the professional standards of conduct within his discipline. His research has enlightened anthropology through the analysis of Buddhism in practice, and of the social and cultural influences which shape the destiny of peoples embarking upon industrial innovation and migration to new lands. His commitment and selflessness have enabled him to exercise a respected influence as the profession has developed in Canada, to forge links of cooperation between India and Canada, and for 23 years to guide the destinies of a university Museum designed to serve scholars and public through imaginative innovation.

Long Citation
István Anhalt is one of Canada's best known classical composers. Complex both in detail and in underlying motive, his music is born of intellectual clarity and absolute conviction, speaking strongly with contemporary eloquence. Each of his works reveals a discriminating creative personality whose artistic ideals are of the highest order, and who takes infinite pains to achieve them. As a teacher and an administrator, he guided the education of several distinguished Canadian musicians and musical scholars. Named an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2003, he was honoured with the Juno Award for Best Classical Composition of 2004.

Tour à tour essayiste, philosophe, théologien, historien, bibliographe, érudit, critique littéraire, grand connaisseur du XVIIe siècle francais, Roméo ARBOUR, qui obtient le prix David dès sa première étude sur Bergson, en 1958, et qui publie autant à Paris et à Genève qu'à Ottawa, est un de ces humanistes consciencieux et presque trop discrets qui ne cessent de vous étonner par la qualité de leur présence jusque l'intérieur du monde littéraire international.
La contribution de Roméo ARBOUR, comme professeur, directeur d'études et conseiller littéraire, est très importante. En outre, il est un homme d'une rare délicatesse et d'un dévouement inépuisable.

Leslie Armour, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Ottawa
Leslie Armour's main research has been philosophical investigations of reality's basic nature, and of the scope of human knowledge. These matters have major implications for morality and politics, he argues. In impressively many books and academic articles, he has demonstrated extraordinary originality and breadth of learning. Often very technical, his work combines contemporary theories with insights developed over many centuries inside many competing philosophical traditions, but particularly that of philosophical idealism. He has written extensively on Canada's distinctiveness and is the leading expert on early Canadian philosophy. No philosopher has done more to promote specifically Canadian ideas and aspirations.
