About the Gala

About The Gala

Bestowed annually, the Bloom Burton Award honours an individual scientist, inventor, executive, entrepreneur, industry leader, or policy maker who made the greatest contribution to Canada’s innovative healthcare industry in the previous year. Nominees are accepted from any of the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic/imaging, research instrumentation, consumer health, services or healthcare IT sectors, and equal consideration is given to contributions across any stage of development – from discovery to commercial end markets.

We are thrilled to announce that Ian Mortimer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Xenon Pharmaceuticals, is the winner of the 2026 Bloom Burton Award.

Leaders from all facets of the Canadian Healthcare industry came together at the black-tie Bloom Burton Award Gala on September 24, 2026, at the Ritz-Carlton, Toronto to celebrate Ian together with 2026 Bloom Burton Award Finalists Graham Rosenberg & Nate Tchaplia of Dentalcorp, and Ilia Tikhomirov, formerly of 35Pharma
