and Associate Dean, is a Distinguished Professor in the Department
of Food and Human Nutritional Sciences in the Faculty of
Agricultural and Food Sciences at the University of Manitoba,
Winnipeg Canada. He is recognized internationally for his
pioneering research on the physical, chemical and performance
properties that led to the successful development of canola oil.
For this and later research, he received many prestigious awards
including the American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS) Supelco
Research Award, considered the world prize in lipids, and the IFT
Lifetime Achievement Award in Memory of Nicolas Appert. He is also
the recipient of the Stephen S. Change Award from IFT and AOCS and
the Alton Bailey Medal, Herbert J Dutton Award, Timothy Mounts
Award, and the A.R. Distinguished Service Award from AOCS and the
William J Eva Award from the Canadian Institute of Food Science and
Technology. In 2016, he was awarded the Order of Canada ,and in
2022 The Order of Manitoba, for his significant contributions to

and edited 18 books , 65 chapters and over 160 papers
Dave Hickling is Vice President, Canola Utilization at the Canola
Council of Canada. In this role, he manages canola utilization
activity related to research and market development. Prior to
joining the Canola Council of Canada in 2002, Hickling worked for
the Canadian International Grains Institute from 1990 to 2002, as
Director of Feed Technology. From 1981 to 1989, Hickling worked for
