On June 2, 2006, as part of Simon Fraser University's 40th Anniversary celebrations, the SFU members of the Royal Society of Canada, with support from the University, sponsored a special public gathering of past recipients of the Excellence in Teaching Award (1982-2005). A photo gallery commemorating SFU's distinguished teachers was unveiled at this event. The gathering and the gallery were initiated to recognize the contributions of outstanding teachers and to demonstrate the high value placed on excellent teaching by SFU.
