On May 4 2017, eight Leaders Circle Ambassadors were recognized by the Minister of Research, Innovation and Science for their invaluable work in showcasing Toronto as a place of innovation, excellence and opportunity. These Ambassadors include some of the brightest minds of our country, representing various specialized backgrounds including academia, engineering, health sciences, and law.

The grant will go towards a research project led by Dr. Albanese.
