The Christine Gagnon Memorial Travel Award

Christine Gagnon was an exceptional graduate student at McGill University under the supervision of Dr. Kristine Koski. In 1996, she was a finalist in the graduate student competitions of both the Canadian Society for Nutritional Sciences and the American Society for Nutritional Sciences. Christine Gagnon had passed away due to a tragic accident before she was able to present at either competition.

To honour her commitment to excellence in research, in 1996 CSNS established the Christine Gagnon Memorial Travel Award through donations from CSNS, ASNS and private donors. Since 1996, many excellent future leaders of nutrition have Christine Gagnon’s name on their CV as a testament to research excellence in nutrition in Canada.
