Peter Calamai, National Science Reporter for The Toronto Star, for his exemplary communication of science to the public, for his dedication to the promotion of science through the media, and for his advocacy for science in Canada.

Jacques Beaulieu (retired), for the invention of the transversely-excited atmospheric carbon dioxide laser as well as his work in system performance modeling.

Richard Cleve, University of Waterloo, for fundamental results in quantum information theory, including the structure of quantum algorithms and the foundations of quantum communication complexity.

Jess Brewer, University of British Columbia, in recognition of his pioneering work to develop muon spin relaxation and related techniques, leading to the creation of an important new field in materials physics.

Adam James Sarty, St. Mary's University, for inspiring his students to love learning physics, successfully implementing innovative teaching technologies and sharing the beauty of the discipline, through his dedication to physics education.

Carl Svensson, University of Guelph, for his strong leadership and major accomplishments in experimental nuclear physics, including measurements that improve significantly the understanding of high angular momentum states in medium weight nuclei and fundamental physics measurements using radioactive beams.

Louis Taillefer, Université de Sherbrooke, for his strong leadership in condensed matter research, resulting in the discovery of multi-component superconductivity, the first observed violation of the Wiedemann-Franz universal ratio of charge and heat conductivities, and an experimental breakthrough in high-temperature superconductors, where quantum oscillations were discovered.
