LONG CITATION
A playwright, producer, director, actor, composer, essayist, and teacher, James Mavor Moore was the first artist to chair the Canada Council for the Arts (1979-83). While still a student, Moore was a pioneer in Canadian radio drama and documentary, and became active with his mother Dora Mavor Moore in the post-war revival of professional theatre. He has appeared in some 60 feature films, created over 100 plays, documentaries, musicals and opera librettos, helped to found numerous cultural organizations, and taught at York University (1970-84) and the University of Victoria (1984-2004). Moore is a Companion of the Order of Canada (1988), and among other honours holds the Molson Prize (1986), Governor General's Award for Lifetime Achievement (1999), and honorary degrees from eight universities.

Cathleen S. Morawetz is one of the world's greatest applied mathematicians. Born and reared in Canada, she has never forgotten her Canadian roots and is still contributing to mathematics in Canada. She has proved deep theorems about partial differential equations, which have significant applications in aerodynamics, acoustics and optics. Her work is important for problems involving shock waves, and she is a leading authority on problems of transonic flow and scattering theory for wave equations. She has received two Guggenheim fellowships and seven honorary degrees from prestigious universities, and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.

L. W. Morley, Ph.D., Chief, Geophysics Division, Geological Survey of Canada, has exercised a double influence. In operating an efficient organization for airborne magnetometer, electromagnetic, and radiometric surveys, for seismic surveys, and for studies in palaeomagnetism and radio-activity he has provided a service of great value to geologists and prospectors. By his inspiration he has led geologists, both within and outside the survey, to an appreciation of what geophysics can do to help their work and enlarge their vision.
In 1963, propounded the theory of the magnetic imprinting of the ocean basins which was fundamental to the later theory of Plate Tectonics. Instrumental in organizing remote sensing in Canada and became the founding Director-general of the The Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (1971). Founding Director of the Institute for Space and Terrestrial Science, York, Waterloo and Western Universities which was one of the 7 centres of Excellence funded by the Ontario Government (1987-90).

Hugh Morris, Padre Resources Corporation, is one of the most broadly based, experienced, and respected members of Canada's private-sector geological community. His unusual familiarity with a wide range of relevant research has resulted in his successes in exploration for base- and precious-metal and industrial mineral deposits around the world. His combination of the vision of an original scientist, the practical skill of an engineer and the substantial business acumen of a corporate leader have generated great respect among earth scientists in all sectors of the national community and have led to many calls by each of them for his leadership, his inevitably practical yet scholarly, politic, and well reasoned advice, and his service to their organizations and societies. No other industrially based Canadian earth scientist in the latter part of this century has been as warmly welcomed and respected in the halls of academe, the advisory councils of government, and the board rooms of industry, and has as selflessly served the earth science community and the nation.

Most of Morrish's early work dealt with various processes involving gamma and cosmic rays, and has stood well the test of time. Since 1953 he has investigated with various co-workers the properties of ordered systems. Techniques employed include magnetic resonance, neutron diffraction Moss bauer effect, domain patterns, low temperatures, and high pulsed fields. He has been involved in materials manufacture including single crystals, sintered ceramics, and thin films, and has contributed to studies of single-domain particles, standing spin waves, canted anti-ferromagnets spinels and garnets. He is co-author of the Brown-Morrish theorem frequently used in magnetostatics. His book, "The Physical Principles of Magnetism" which provides comprehensive and unified treatment of the subject has received excellent reviews.

MORRISON, Margaret, Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto
Margaret Morrison is an internationally recognized scholar in the philosophy of science. Her papers and books on various aspects of modelling in the physical and biological sciences have been responsible for transforming the way scholars analyse issues related to model construction and evaluation. Her work on theory unification in physics has had a similar impact, calling attention to the role unified theories play in shaping our understanding of the physical world.

Professeur d’anthropologie socio-culturelle à l’University of Toronto, Tania Li s’est forgé une réputation internationale pour ses travaux pionniers caractérisés par des théorisations originales, des recherches empiriques, et le dépassement des limites inter-disciplinaires. Dans ses ouvrages sur les effets inégaux du développement économique en Indonésie, elle remet en question l’hypothèse selon laquelle la croissance économique apporte stabilité et prospérité universelles. Ses recherches instructives ont influencé les politiques et les pratiques non seulement en Asie, mais également en Afrique et en Amérique latine.

LONG CITATION
One of Canada's most accomplished painters, Norval Morrisseau has had over forty one-person shows throughout North America and Europe. In 1989 he was the only Canadian invited to exhibit at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris to mark the bicentennial of the French Revolution. Ojibway and Métis by descent, Morrisseau originated the Woodland School of Art, characterized by rich imagery and depiction of traditional beliefs and legends, which has influenced a generation of younger Aboriginal artists. Morrisseau has been elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Art (1970), is a member of the Order of Canada (1978), and holds the eagle feather, the highest honour awarded by the Assembly of First Nations (1995).

Professor Desmond Morton's work encompasses a dozen scholarly books and 22 scholarly articles, as well as a vast outpouring of books for the schools, newspaper columns and magazine pieces. There can be no doubt whatsoever that Morton's work constitutes a first-rank contribution to the history of modern Canada. His primary interests have been in military history, and his books have dealt with the organization and command of the early militia, with (his grandfather) General Otter, with the 1885 rebellion, and with the command of the Canadian forces overseas during the Great War. No one of his generation has produced so much and so well. What is all the more remarkable is that Morton's work in labour history, most notably his book "Working People", has been as important in its synthesizing effects. All this work is remarkable for its fine prose and simply awesome research.
In addition to his scholarly work, Morton has been President of the Canadian Historical Association and an OCUFA teaching award winner.
