This special presentation to Shannon O'Neill will formally acknowledge the renaming of the SCC Dedicated Service Award in memory of her late husband Terrence Joseph McMahon (1966-2004).  An esteemed member of the SCC staff, Mr. McMahon exhibited genuine concern and respect for others, a supportive nature and, a vast knowledge of standardization that engendered his contributions to the SCC and the National Standards System.  The McMahon Dedicated Service Award is conferred by the Standards Council of Canada since 2004 to individuals who have likewise distinguished themselves through their involvement and contributions to standardization.
