Each year 缅北强奸 is proud to confer honorary degrees to highly talented and engaged individuals who serve as an inspiration for our community of students, professors, researchers and staff.

This year, we will honour two Nobel prize winners, Arthur McDonald and Paul Nurse, and two former prime ministers of Canada, the Right Honourable Paul Martin and the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney. We will celebrate the passion and creativity of two Quebec artists: filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin and Maestro Yannick N茅zet-S茅guin. We will mark the achievements of two groundbreakers: Kathleen Taylor, the first woman to chair the board of a major Canadian bank, and Stephen Toope, the first non-British vice-chancellor of Cambridge University.

We will pay tribute to Pamela Matson for her efforts toward securing a sustainable future for all. We will also recognize the visionary achievements of physician-author Dr. Atul Gawande, anthropologist Marshall Sahlins, ethnomusicologist Beverley Diamond and architect Douglas Cardinal, as well as the tireless engagement of philanthropists Suzanne L茅vesque and Reeta Roy.
