Wilson May 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. Some of its material has also been presented orally. This paper covers briefly and selectively Canadian engineering events and achievements in four time periods: one up to the time of Confederation in 1867, and three others between then and 2017. Associated with the three later periods are corresponding economic/political/social timelines to help put the engineering in context. There are no comments in it on the quality of the design, construction/manufacture, origins and uses of the items listed. This paper took a whole lot longer than expected to research and write, so that it carries a date in 2019 rather than late in 2017, when the chronological material in it ends. There are no maps or photographs.

  • Canadian Engineering History: a Thumbnail Sketch
    Canadian Engineering History: A Thumbnail Sketch by Andrew H. (Drew) Wilson, FCAE May 2020 Prepared at the request of the President of the Canadian Academy of Engineering Preamble Engineering can be, and has been, defined in a variety of ways. A very early definition was that it is “the art of directing the great source of power in Nature for the use and convenience of people.” Nowadays, it has to be considered as an informed activity performed by purpose-trained practitioners in regard to the design, production and maintenance of machinery, constructions, processes and devices that is being augmented constantly by experience, research, and information that extends beyond science and technology and requires some understanding of economics and business, the law, the social sciences, and politics, as well as an appreciation of the past as well as the future. This paper has been written especially for students of engineering, to introduce them to some of the past events and achievements in engineering activity in Canada. The text is relatively short and makes use of information that has already appeared in other, longer stories of Canadian engineering. For the purposes of this paper, however, some of Newfoundland and Labrador’s engineering achievements prior to 1949 have been included. The illustrations are also few in number, but a bibliography has been appended to encourage further reading. To provide some background to the events and achievements, some economic, social and political information has been included. To help accommodate its ‘thumbnail’ description, this paper omits specific references to Canadian achievements abroad, to engineering in the Armed Forces, and to some of the companies with obvious engineering connections.

Wilson April 2019 Abstract The research for this paper was done as part of a sesquicentennial project on 150 Years of Canadian Engineering. For those included, their ‘remembrance’ either has been generally recognised among the members of the profession or has been the subject of judgement on my part (and may or may not be shared). It is important to remember that Canada’s early engineers were mostly civils, that many were immigrants, and that the profession has been male-dominated, although this dominance has been slowly diminishing over the past several decades. About the Series Principally, the Cedargrove Series is intended to preserve some of the research, writings and oral presentations that the author has completed over the past half-century or so but has not yet published. It is, therefore, the modern-day variant of the privately-published books and pamphlets written by his forebears, such as his paternal grandfather and grandmother and his grandfather’s brother John.

  • Metropolitan Natures
    METROPOLITAN NATURES Environmental Histories of Montreal Edited by STÉPHANE CASTONGUAY and MICHÈLE DAGENAIS ne of the oldest metropolitan areas in ONorth America, Montreal has evolved from a remote fur-trading post in New France into an international center for services and technology. A city and an island located at the confluence of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers, it is uniquely situated to serve as an international port while also providing rail access to the Canadian interior. The historic capital of the Province of Canada, and once Canada’s foremost metropolis, Montreal has a multifaceted cultural heritage drawn from European and North American influences. Thanks to its rich past, the city offers an ideal setting for the study of an evolving urban environment. Metropolitan Natures presents original histories of the diverse environments that constitute Montreal and its region. It explores the agricultural and industrial transformation of the metropolitan area, the interaction of city and hinterland, and the interplay of humans and nature. The fourteen chapters cover a wide range of issues, from landscape representations during the colonial era to urban encroachments on the Kahnawake Mohawk reservation on the south shore of the island, from the 1918–1920 Spanish flu epidemic and its ensuing human (continued on back flap) Metropolitan Natures Environmental Histories of Montreal edited by Stéphane Castonguay and Michèle Dagenais University of Pittsburgh Press Castonguay_Pages.indd 3 4/19/11 3:02 PM Published by the University of Pittsburgh Press, Pittsburgh, Pa., 15260 Copyright © 2011, University of Pittsburgh Press All rights reserved Manufactured in the United States of America Printed on acid-free paper 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Metropolitan natures : environmental histories of Montreal / edited by Stéphane Castonguay and Michèle Dagenais.

This thesis examines traditional Mohawk warrior culture, meaning traditional Mohawk rites of passage and Mohawk male gender roles, through analyzing the role of Mohawk skywalkers in the late 19th and early 20th century. In tribal Mohawk society, the passage from adolescence to manhood was representative of a boy becoming a warrior.

The decolonization of Canadian cities must begin with the acknowledgement of the role engineering, architecture and urban planning has had in the perpetuation of colonialism. This paper works to identify directions for the decoloniza- tion of infrastructural systems through a reconsideration of pre-contact Indigenous architectural and infrastructural histories, a recognition of the ways in which infrastructure was often used as an instrument of colonial land claims, and the various ways in which Indigenous peoples, communities, and knowledges have contributed to the infrastructures that populate our contemporary geography. It is through an acknowledgment of infrastructure as actant in colonialism and the contributions Indigenous peoples and knowledges have had in the development and implementation of our infra- structural systems that we can begin to expand and deepen our understanding of the relationings between knowledge, infrastructure, ecosystems and Indigenous peoples. Finally, this paper consid- ers the ways in which Indigenous design principles offer a great deal of potential in the creation of more environmentally and socially sustainable communities, and even regenerative design.

After an SPS postgraduate year and CPR’s BC Mountain Division (1884-85), he moved East to begin a long, varied and eminent career with Dominion Bridge Co., and many other organizations. He was Chief Engineer of St. Lawrence Bridge Co. during the completion of the Quebec Bridge (1917). Notable pioneering included electric-welded steel assembly and vast improvements in papermaking machinery. Noteworthy contributions came through high office in professional bodies, which were broadly acknowledged: Royal Humane Society Medal (1893), Honorary Doctorates from Queen’s University, University of Toronto and McGill University (1919-21), Duggan Medal, established by ETC in 1935. His yachting skill, both in design and sailing, was known all over the continent. He was involved in several famous clubs (founder, member and/or officer), and during 1896-1901, he brought fame to Canada by winning the International Cup in a vessel of his own design. http://my.alumni.utoronto.ca/s/731/index.aspx?sid=731&gid=36&pgid=2112 QUEBEC HISTORY GEORGE HERRICK DUGGAN DUGGAN, George Herrick, LL.D., D.Sc. - President, Dominion Bridge Co., Ltd., Montreal; President, Dominion Engineering Works, Ltd.; Director, Royal Bank of Canada; Director, Montreal Trust Co.; Director, Steel Co.
