This report also seeks to contextualize this overall account by presenting relevant anecdotes and themes in sidebars accompanying the main text. This account has been informed by the writing and guidance of professional engineers familiar with the history of Canadian metallurgy. It represents, above all, the perspective of this community of technical experts, and forms part of an effort to document the history of metallurgy by the Canada Science and Technology Museum (CSTM) and the Metallurgy & Materials Society (MetSoc) of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum (CIM). It is hoped that this approach will serve both as an introduction to the progress of metallurgy in Canada, as well as a starting point for research in other important aspects of metallurgy’s place within Canada’s diverse culture and landscape. Suggestions for areas of further research are provided in the report's conclusion.
