She completed high school in Windsor, Ontario, and enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan (BA 1949, MA 1951) in 1946. She was a member of 12 intervarsity championship teams. Dr. Fedoruk played on the Huskiette basketball team that won the Cecil Race Trophy five times, competed on the track team that won the Rutherford Trophy two times, was on the volleyball team that captured the Landa Trophy three times and was a member of the golf team that won the Birks Trophy two times. Dr. Fedoruk was co-captain of the basketball team for four years. In addition to her athletic endeavors for which she received a Major Athletic award, Dr. Fedoruk was active in other facets of campus life, including serving as president of the Women's Athletic Board in 1948-49. She was awarded the prestigious Spirit of Youth Trophy in 1949 as the female student-athlete combining leadership, sportsmanship, character, academics and athletics. Dr. Fedoruk went on to a distinguished career in medical physics, specializing in the use of radiation in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Dr. Fedoruk became the first female Chancellor at the University of Saskatchewan, serving from 1986-1991. In 1987 she was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and was Lieutenant-Governor of Saskatchewan from 1988-1994. In the 1990s, the City of Saskatoon named a new road, Fedoruk Drive, located in the northeast sector of the city. In 2009 Dr. Fedoruk was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. In 2012 the name of the Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation (CCNI) was changed to the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation in honor of the pioneering work she did in the treatment of cancer using cobalt-60 radiation therapy in the 1950s. In 2017 Sylvia Fedoruk Public School opened in the Evergreen neighbourhood. Dr. Fedoruk died in 2012 in Saskatoon at age 85.
