Temple Grandin |
An assistant professor of livestock handling and behaviour at Colorado State University, Temple Grandin has had a major impact on the farming industry by proving the benefits of good handling and transportation methods for livestock. She developed widely used ranching and feeding systems that are more comfortable for animals and better at preventing injuries. She also designed more humane restraining systems to hold cattle and calves during slaughter. She has won several awards, including the Harry C. Rowsell Award from the Scientists' Centre for Animal Welfare and the Industry Innovator's Award from Meat Marketing and Technology Magazine. A recovered autistic, she sits on the board of directors of the Autism Society of America and lectures throughout the U.S. about her own experiences to parents and teachers of autistic children. |
Liliane Stewart |
The president of the Macdonald Stewart Foundation since 1984, Liliane Stewart has played a key role in guiding the path of one of the country's most important charitable foundations. The foundation has provided crucial support to health care, medical research, education and culture. Macdonald Campus has benefited from her generosity; a new research greenhouse and the campus's innovative EcoResidence are the most recent examples. A former vice-president of Macdonald Tobacco Inc., Stewart is a governor emeritus of McGill, an officer of the Ordre national du Québec, an honorary fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, a chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur and the president of the Stewart Museum and the Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts. |
