The CAP-COMP Peter Kirkby Memorial Medal
for Outstanding Service to Canadian Physics
The CAP-COMP Peter Kirkby Memorial Medal recognizes outstanding service to Canadian physics. The medal is intended to recognize service to the physics community by strengthening the Canadian physics community, by enhancing the profession of physical scientists, by effectively communicating physics to the non-scientific community, or by making physics more attractive as a career. It is intended to provide a lasting memorial to Peter Kirkby and to recognize in others the qualities for which he is remembered best: a vision of a strong Canadian physics community, dedicated efforts to support that vision and, in all things, fairness, and honesty.
The Peter Kirkby Memorial Medal was introduced in 1996. It is awarded biennially.
2008 Winner - Peter Calamai, The Toronto Star.
The next medal will be awarded in the year 2010. Deadline for nominations is January 15, 2010. Nominees must be a member in good standing of the CAP or COMP.
NEW - Effective 2007 November 22, nominations for the CAP medals will be accepted through our secure, online submission site.

Please note that nominators can create a nomination and return at a later date to add the required documentation as it becomes available.
