	Sir Frederick Grant Banting
		William Thompson Banting, one of John and Hester Banting's family of eight, was born in Canada in 1849 and raised in Thompsonville.
		Frederick Grant Banting was born in the front downstairs bedroom of the old farmhouse on November 14, 1891.
		Frederick Grant Banting, discoverer of insulin, was born November 14, 1891, on the original Banting homestead immediately behind this Cairn.

		In Banting's case, this was a particularly important context to bear in mind, as his life (and death) were very much shaped by the major international events of the period, particularly the two world wars.
		Banting was born in 1891, and so was old enough to serve in France during the Great War; and young enough to volunteer for service in the second war, during which he was killed in a plane crash in an effort to fly to Britain as a volunteer officer in the medical corps.
		Banting provides an almost classic case of the "outsider" initially shunned by that establishment; indeed, he was forced to turn to the more entrepreneurial and pragmatic environment south of the border to secure the funding on which his early work depended.

		While he was considering this problem, Banting read in a medical journal an article by Moses Baron, which pointed out that, when the pancreatic duct was experimentally closed by ligatures, the cells of the pancreas which secrete trypsin degenerate, but that the islands of Langerhan's remain intact.
		This suggested to Banting the idea that ligation of the pancreatic duct would, by destroying the cells which secrete trypsin, avoid the destruction of the insulin, so that, after sufficient time had been allowed for the degeneration of the trypsin-secreting cells, insulin might be extracted from the intact islands of Langerhan's.
		In 1922 Banting had been appointed Senior Demonstrator in Medicine at the University of Toronto, and in 1923 he was elected Chair of Medical Research, which had been endowed by the Legislature of the Province of Ontario.

	The My Hero Project - Frederick BantingBanting
		Frederick Banting never knew he was on the road to saving countless lives as he worried over the empty waiting room of his humble surgical practice in London, Ontario.
		Banting loved to work deep into the night and it was on one of these that Banting was struck by an idea.
		Banting wrote in 1940: "...had I not failed in my one year at London, I might never have started my research work..." Nobel prize winner, accomplished painter, knighted by the queen, and a recipient of the Military Cross for bravery during World War I, Frederick Banting was a saver of lives.

		In this capacity, Dr. Banting was instrumental in guiding more widespread medical research across Canada, promoting the development of medical research, securing additional funding beyond the committee's $53,000 budget, and liaising with medical research counterparts in Europe and the United States.
		Banting was also involved in countless other NRC contributions to the war, such as synthetic rubber flight suits, early atomic energy studies, and work on jet engines.
		Banting's influence continues to be felt today as someone who forged Canada's medical research capacity that benefits Canadians and people from around the world.

	Banting and Best Department of Medical Research Chair
		Banting's and Best's experiments were crudely conducted and did not substantiate Banting's idea, which was physiologically incorrect.
		Banting was hailed as the principal discoverer of insulin because his idea had launched the research, because of his prominence in the early use of insulin, and because he and his friends carried on a campaign to discredit his senior collaborators, Macleod and Collip, with whom he was temperamentally incompatible.
		Banting supervised important research into silicosis and problems in aviation medicine before his death on a flight to England in 1941 to look into the state of medical research there.
