Named in honour of Brett Gladman (b.1966-04-19 in Wetaskawin, Alberta), a Canadian astronomer and dynamicist who studied at the University of Alberta, Queen's University (with Martin Duncan, Cornell University. Gladman has made important contributions to modeling the dynamical evolution of near-earth objects and the transport of meteorites, including those from the moon and Mars. Gladman has also carried out observational surveys of transneptunian objects and in 1997 was codiscoverer of the two irregular satellites of Uranus.

Named in honour of Giovanni Caboto or John Cabot (1449/50-1498/99), who made the first recorded landfall in North America since the Norse voyages. Genoese by birth and Venetian by citizenship, Cabot moved to England in 1484, apparently motivated by his idea of reaching Asia by sailing westward across the Atlantic. In 1497 he and his crew of 18 sailed from Bristol in a tiny vessel, the "Matthew", arriving off Newfoundland on June 24, after which he explored the coast southward to Nova Scotia.

Named in honour of one of Canada's oldest and most highly regarded universities, located in Montréal. McGill was founded in 1821 and enjoys a first-rate reputation. Once home to humourist Stephen Leacock and physicist Ernest Rutherford, the university has done pioneering research both on the earth in medicine and in space through its department of earth and planetary sciences. Name proposed and official citation prepared by David H. Levy.

Saint Mary's University, Halifax, N.S., is Atlantic Canada's primary centre for instruction, public relations and research in astronomy and astrophysics. The university, founded in 1802, is the site of the Burke-Gaffney Observatory, used for the detection of supernova 1995F, the first such discovery of an all-Canadian nature.

Named in honour of the city of Montréal, Canada. Host for the IAU General Assembly in 1979, Montréal has combined the best of English and French cultures since its founding in 1642. The city has a rich astronomical tradition, as can be seen in several outdoor works of art that emphasize the city's connection to the stars.

Named in honour of Colin D. Scarfe (b. 1940), professor of astronomy at the University of Victoria since 1965.

Named in honor of Frances Oldham Kelsey (b.1914 in Cobble Hill, British Columbia - d.2015 in London, Ontario), research pharmacologist at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Washington, D.C. Kelsey's prescient research led to the recognition that fetal malformation can result from drugs that appear harmless to adults.

Edward Cloutis (b.1958), professor at the University of Winnipeg, studies the spectra of mineral assemblages similar to those found on planetary surfaces. He studied at the University of Alberta and finished a Ph.D. in 1992 under Dorian Smith and was the first to derive a relationship between the olivine-orthopyroxene fraction and the ratio of silicate absorption bands in reflectance spectra.

Named in honour of the Jedicke family. Peter Jedicke (b. 1955-06-15 in Wiesbaden, Germany), Robert Jedicke (b. 1963-01-30 in Niagara Falls, Canada), and June Jedicke-Zehr (b. 1966-03-17 in Niagara Falls, Canada) grew up in Niagara Falls, where they attended James C.
