The Canadian Number Theory Association (CNTA) was founded in 1987 at the International Number Theory Conference at Laval University. The purpose of the CNTA is to enhance and promote learning and research in Number Theory, particularly in Canada. To advance these goals the CNTA organizes major international conferences, with the aim of exposing Canadian students and researchers to the latest developments in number theory. The previous meetings have been held in Banff (1988), Vancouver (1989), Kingston (1991), Halifax (1994), Ottawa (1996), Winnipeg (1999) and Montreal (2002). These have been high quality conferences which have had wide participation of the international number theory community.

Ribenboim Prize

The Canadian Number Theory Association (CNTA) has established a prize for distinguished research in number theory to be awarded to a mathematician who is Canadian or has connections to Canadian mathematics. The prize, called the Ribenboim Prize, will normally be awarded every four years in conjunction with a CNTA meeting. The prize winner will receive a certificate and medal and will give a plenary talk at the associated CNTA meeting. Normally the prize winner will have received his or her Ph.D. within the last 12 years. The first prize was awarded at the 1999 CNTA meeting to Professor Andrew Granville, and the second prize was awarded in 2002 to Professor Henri Darmon at the CNTA Meeting.

At this year's meeting, the Ribenboim Prize will be awarded to Professor Michael Bennett of the University of British Columbia.
