As we gather to celebrate Canada Day, we are reminded of our shared heritage, values, and our collective aspiration for a better tomorrow. At the Banting Research Foundation, we believe in the power of research to shape that future. On this special day, we want to highlight the role of Canadian innovation and scientific research in improving health and wellbeing across our great nation.

Canada Day is not just about celebrating our history—it’s also about looking forward. We are proud to carry on the legacy of Sir Frederick Banting, the first Canadian Nobel laureate in Medicine for the discovery of insulin. His groundbreaking work has saved millions of lives worldwide and serves as a reminder of what Canadian ingenuity can achieve.

Today, our researchers continue to follow in Banting’s footsteps, pushing boundaries and exploring new frontiers in medical research. From discovering novel treatments for diseases to improving healthcare delivery systems, our scientists are committed to making a difference.
