Inscription on the plaque:
Commemorating 100 years of Innovation for Canada
National Research Council
- 6 June 2016
His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada
The 100th anniversary of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) is a wonderful opportunity not only to reflect upon the achievements of this great organization, but also to remind ourselves of how far we have come as a country and what a special place it is.
The NRC has made tremendous contributions to the development of science and innovation in Canada and, through these powerful instruments, it has helped shape our lives today and the world around us.
The stories you will read in the following pages speak to our capacity to collaborate towards a common goal, to harness curiosity and to serve humanity. I believe that this capacity is accessed when you build a smart, caring country overall—one that looks outward with confidence and openness.
For over 100 years, the people of the NRC have epitomized this attitude and this spirit, and have helped to position our country to pursue the opportunities and confront the challenges of the future.
David Johnston - Governor General of Canada
