The Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame (French: Temple de la renommée des sciences et génie du Canada), located at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa, Ontario, honours Canadians who have made outstanding contributions to society in science and engineering. It also promotes role models to encourage young Canadians to pursue careers in science, engineering and technology. The hall includes a permanent exhibition, a traveling exhibition, a virtual gallery, and events and programming to celebrate inductees.

History

The Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame was established in 1991 through a joint partnership by the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), Industry Canada and the Association of Partners in Education, to mark the NRC's 75th anniversary. The hall has since become a major feature of the Canada Science and Technology Museum, and has become a part of the museum's permanent Innovation Canada exhibition.
