It is our privilege to be associated with the grassroots heroes who are celebrated through the Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence in Science, Technology and Mathematics and in the page of this exemplary practices guide.

Canadian leadership in knowledge-based, high-technology industries can be traced back a century or more: R. A. Fessenden invented AM radio and was the first person to transmit human speech over radio 99 years ago; Alexander Graham Bell not only invented the telephone, but also created an industry that has improved lives all around the world.

That is a record of excellence upon which Canadians must build as we, like the rest of the world, adapt to life in the Information Age and prepare for the challenges of the Knowledge Age. The joint commitment of government, educators and industry in partnerships such as the Prime Minister's Awards is an important step in that process.

We at Bell Mobility applaud the innovative work of the outstanding teachers profiled here. With extraordinary creativity and commitment, these educators are leading the way, ensuring that our children and grandchildren have the technical skills, the lifelong-learning attitudes and the insatiable curiosity to succeed - and, through their collective success, to make Canada an even better place to live.
