Through the A.G.L. McNaughton Award and Gold Medal, IEEE Canada commemorates General McNaughton’s remarkable legacy and his contributions to the engineering profession, in which he epitomized technical excellence, and to the society at large in Canada. Recipients of the McNaughton Medal are outstanding Canadian engineers whose life achievements have made a lasting impact in any of the diverse engineering and scientific fields, showing strong commitment to the engineering profession, significant innovation, and exemplary service to the wider community.

The IEEE Canada (Region 7) A.G.L. McNaughton Award and Gold Medal is the highest distinction conferred annually by IEEE Canada. It recognizes exceptional contributions and an outstanding career in technology, engineering, or science. This prestigious honour celebrates Canadian engineers whose extraordinary achievements have made lasting and transformative impacts on Canadian society and the global community, and who have proven exemplary leadership and service within the engineering profession.

The emphasis is on two aspects that must be proven:

• Exceptional contributions and an outstanding career in technology, engineering, or science, and
• Extraordinary achievements that have lasting and transformative impacts on Canadian society and the global community
