Montréalais, organiste et claveciniste, Kenneth Gilbert s'est d'abord signalé dans son pays comme concertiste. Sa renommée internationale commence en 1968 alors qu'il enregistre pour RCI et Harmonia Mundi l'oeuvre intégrale de Couperin dans sa propre édition, une monumentale réalisation qui est le point de départ d'une riche carrière de musicologue et de concertiste. Ses éditions de Couperin (4 vols), Scarlatti (11 vols), Rameau, Frescobaldi et Bach lui ont valu une réputation universelle sans compter ses dons d'exécutant et de pédagogue. Après avoir enseigné au Conservatoire de Montréal et à l'université Laval, il devint en 1981 tutulaire de la classe de clavecin à Hochschule de Stuttgart. En 1988, il est nommé au Conservatoire de Paris et, plus tard, au Mozarteum de Slazbourg. Ses nombreux enregistrements de Bach et les Maîtres français (Archiv Produktion, Harmonia Mundi) lui ont valu plusieurs prix internationaux, et ses tournées comme soliste l'ont conduit un peu partout dans le monde. Comme organiste il a été l'un des fondateurs du mouvement vers les orgues de type classique au Canada. De par ses diverses activités professionnelles et pédagogiques au service de la musique ancienne, Kenneth Gilbert a exercé une influence considérable sur la jeune génération de clavecinistes, tant en Europe qu'en Amérique

LONG CITATION Professor Eliezer Gileadi, Nathan Cummings Chair of Pure and Applied Electrochemistry, Emeritus, at Tel Aviv University (Israel), is widely recognized internationally for his exceptional contributions to fundamental and applied electrochemistry. His work has contributed to the understanding, especially at the molecular level, of the metal/solution interface, both in aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes, to the elucidation of mechanisms on electrode reactions, the understanding of the fundamentals of adsorption phenomena, and the interpretation of anomalous deposition of alloys. Prof. Gileadi’s research has had a major influence on applied research in the areas of fuel-cells, electroplating, alloy plating, supercapacitors and mechanisms of corrosion inhibition. His international eminence in these areas was recognized by the award in 2003 of the coveted Olin Palladium Medal of the Electrochemical Society (U.S.A.) . His impact on Canadian science has been felt since 1960, but especially through his collaborative research at NRC Laboratories in Ottawa over the last decade. He was awarded the Herzberg Memorial Prize (2004) in recognition of this fruitful collaboration.

Dr. Gillespie has made many outstanding contributions in the field of inorganic chemistry. His extensive investigations on the electrochemical, thermodynamic and dielectric properties of sulfuric acid solutions have won him wide recognition and an international reputation at an early age. Since joining the staff at McMaster University he has established a first-rate school of inorganic chemistry. He and his group have carried out numerous brilliant researches on a variety of new fluorine compounds, sulfur compounds, and mixed fluorine and sulfur compounds. Using a variety of modern techniques, he has investigated the chemistry of these compounds and successfully established the structure of most of them. His achievements to date are most impressive and place him in the forefront of present-day inorganic chemists.

Vidyadhar P. Godambe is internationally recognized as a major influence on the development of statistics over the past five decades. He has made outstanding and innovative contributions to the theory of estimation, formulating the methodology of estimating functions, leading and stimulating its further development, and promoting its application to diverse areas.

Dr. Godson had a distinguished career at the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto, winning ten scholarships and research awards. He entered the Meteorological Service in June 1942 and in 1954 was appointed Superintendent of Research, a position he now holds. Dr. Godson has had ninety-two meteorological papers accepted for publication in technical journals covering almost every field in atmospheric science from induced precipitation to solar terrestrial relations. Dr. Godson is a member or officer of numerous international meteorological and related organizations and has participated by invitation in eighteen important international symposia. Dr. Godson acts as an advisor to a large number of meteorological groups and associations in Canada. Dr. Godson has, through his own efforts and through his wise council, greatly advanced research programmes in meteorology both in Canada and throughout the world.
