Lawrence G. Euteneier, M.S.M., Ottawa, Ontario
Meritorious Service Medal (civil division)

In 2003, Lawrence Euteneier conceived and developed "Web-4-All", a world-leading technology for those with disabilities and literacy impairments that affect their ability to use the Internet. The application allows people with visual disabilities to have screens magnified or read aloud. It also permits those with difficulty using a keyboard to use settings or displays that address most dexterity issues and individuals with literacy challenges to access information using both sight and sound. Thanks to Mr. Euteneier’s achievements, Canadians with disabilities can now communicate electronically and access information and services on-line independently.
