2000 CAP MEDAL WINNERS:

	The CAP-INO Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Applied Photonics is awarded to: Richard Normandin, National Research Council, for his outstanding contribution as a researcher, a leader and as a visionary to the advancement of the field of applied photonics. His work on wavelength division multiplexing, semiconductor non-linear optoelectronic signal processing and integrated electronic and optical systems have fostered the use of optics/photonics by the Canadian industry.
	The CAP-CRM Prize in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics is awarded to: Gordon Semenoff, University of British Columbia, for his wide-ranging contributions to quantum field theory, statistical mechanics and string theory.
	The CAP/DCMMP Brockhouse Medal (for Outstanding Experimental or Theoretical Contributions to Condensed Matter and Materials Physics) is awarded to: Tom Timusk, McMaster University, for recent significant contributions to the understanding of high Tc superconductors. This work has included studies of the infrared properties of the "pseudogap", establishment of the non-Fermi-liquid-like character of c-axis transport, and measurement of the absolute value of the penetration depth to high precision.
	The CAP Medal for Excellence in Teaching is awarded to: Robert Hawkes, Mount Allison University, for his superb innovative teaching both inside and outside of the classroom, his development of multimedia teaching materials, and his many presentations on teaching and curriculum development.
	The CAP-COMP Peter Kirkby Memorial Medal for Outstanding Service to Canadian Physics is awarded to: Paul Vincett, FairCopy Services, for his service to the physics community, in particular as coordinator of the 1996 Review of Canadian Academic Physics as well as while Group Chair of Physics for NSERC. Dr. Vincett spearheaded the CAP's Professional Certification program and expanded the CAP's lobbying activities.
	The CAP Herzberg Medal (for outstanding achievement by a physicist aged 40 or less) is awarded to: H.C. Liu, Institute for Microstructural Sciences, National Research Council, for his prolific contributions to the field of semiconductor quantum electronic devices.
	The CAP Medal for Achievement in Physics is awarded to: Tom Timusk, McMaster University, for measurements of profound importance over many years of the optical constants of crystals of metals and superconductors over a broad range of temperature and frequency. This work has led to new insights into the Fermi-liquid theory of metals, and the mechanisms of high temperature superconductivity.

All recipients have been invited to give a plenary lecture during the 2000 CAP Congress at York University from June 4-7. The medals will be awarded during the Congress banquet to be held on 2000 June 6th.
