IEEE Canada Awards 2020

The IEEE is delighted to announce the winners of the 2020 IEEE Canada Awards. This year, IEEE Canada will recognize eleven outstanding Canadian engineers, scientists and technologists for their exemplary contributions to engineering.

IEEE Canada normally hosts an Awards Gala as part of the CCECE conference, but since the conference has moved online, we did things a bit differently. We have included below pre-recorded acceptance speeches, and we had a special online session to hear about the work of some of the award winners.

We also made our usual Awards Brochure 2020.
