The variety AC Barrie, a hard red spring wheat, represented a major increase in yield, while maintaining a high protein content required for baking quality in this class of wheat. AC Barrie was the most widely grown hard red developed over 50 varieties for several classes of spring wheat for Canada. Because of the demanding requirements for quality in Canadian wheats, this is one of the most difficult crops to breed. His varieties have been extremely well received by prairie farmers, typically occupying more than 50 per cent of the seeded acreage.

Tse started his research career in synchrotron radiation in 1975 as a graduate student of Prof. G.M. Bancoft, the first Director of the Canadian Light Source (CLS). After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Western Ontario in the summer of 1980, Dr. Tse moved to the Chemistry Division of the National Research Council of Canada in contributions to natural gas hydrates, an abundant source of fossil energy. A notable example is the theory he developed to explain the anomalous glass-like thermal conduction behaviour of crystalline gas hydrates. This theory was later adopted as a new paradigm on the rational design of efficient thermoelectric materials. His interest in high-pressure science started in early 1990 when he explained the hydrogen alloys and magnetic single-molecule radical solids under compression. Dr. Tse has published over 410 articles and 17 reviews and book chapters with many appearing in the most prestigious scientific journals.

British Columbia with Distinction Tyler Jerald Young Saskatoon Spring Convocation 2012 - Studious Linda Wason-Ellam, professor of curriculum studies in the College of Education, believes a hand puppet is a powerful teaching tool. She believes art and image are more powerful mediums than many realize. And she has spent her 48-year career using all of these things to bring literacy to a special group of children—those who are not achieving in school. These days Wason-Ellam is focusing her research on children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). With the assistance of a Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation grant, and as part of an interdisciplinary FASD research network, Wason-Ellam is working on developing literacy screening tools for FASD, determining characteristics of the disorder and identifying patterns of functional and essential literacy skills.
