Isaak-Walton-Killam Award

The Izaak-Walton-Killam Award was established according to the last wishes of Dorothy J. Killam to honour the memory of her husband Izaak Walton Killam.

Five Killam Prizes, each having a value of $100,000, are annually awarded by the Canada Council to eminent Canadian researchers who distinguish themselves in the fields of social, human, natural or health sciences.
