McGill launches Canada Award

“Over the last 200 years, McGill has risen to meet whatever challenges it faces. At the core of our success has been the talent we attract – from across Quebec, Canada and the world. This award is designed to do just that. The quality of our people is the reason that McGill is and will remain one of the top universities in the world."

- Deep Saini, President and Vice-Chancellor of McGill University.
