The Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame is a central part of the Innovation Canada exhibition at the Canada Science and Technology Museum. Here, we honour individuals whose outstanding scientific or technological achievements have had long term implications for Canadians.

Did you know anyone can nominate a significant Canadian for the Hall of Fame?

There are currently 40 Canadian scientists, engineers and innovators recognized in the Hall of Fame. The achievements of these individuals have been so remarkable and their contributions to society so great that the Museum hopes one day all Canadians will be aware of their accomplishments.

This year's inductees are Chalmers Jack Mackenzie, Hubert Reeves and Ernest Rutherford.
