Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame Travelling Exhibition

The remarkable accomplishments and great contributions of Canadian scientists, engineers, and innovators have inspired this exhibition honouring their achievements and sharing their stories. Meet forty-eight leaders who helped shape Canada — and the world, including:

inspirational ecologist Pierre Dansereau
groundbreaking aeronautical engineer Elizabeth “Elsie” MacGill
John “Jack” A. Hopps, builder of the world’s first portable pacemaker
Willard S. Boyle, whose work is integral to virtually every camcorder, digital camera, and telescope in use today
Gerald Heffernan, who helped reshape the steel industry around the world

Compelling stories of curiosity, challenge, problem-solving, and discovery by Canadian scientists, engineers, medical researchers, and inventors provide inspiration and insight for youth and adults alike. The exhibition panels are updated after each induction to the Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame.
