Chemical Industry
Chemical societies first appeared in
Canada in 1902 with the McGill Chemical Society, Montréal, and the Canadian
section of the Society of Chemical Industry (UK), Toronto. Over 100 people
attended the first national conference in Ottawa in 1918, which led to
formation of the first national society, The Canadian Institute of Chemistry
(1921). The institute amalgamated with other groups in 1945 to form a new
national scientific society, The Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC). By 1993
the CIC embraced 4500 chemists, 1550 chemical engineers, and 500 chemical
technologists. The CIC is an umbrella organization for constituent societies:
the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering (est. 1966), the Canadian Society
for Chemical Technology (est. 1973), and the Canadian Society for Chemistry (est.
1985).
Three separate societies in Ontario,
Québec and Alberta represent the nonscientific interests of chemists in
provincial matters. Canadian chemists are also well served professionally by a
number of journals. The Canadian Journal of Research was founded by the NRC in
1929 to publish original work in all sciences. Later, it was succeeded by
several journals serving different disciplines, eg, the Canadian Journal of
Chemistry, Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology and The Canadian
Journal of Technology. The latter was transferred to the CIC (and subsequently
to the SCLE) in 1956 and renamed the Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering.
The CIC publishes a journal for general chemical news, Chemistry in Canada,
which was founded in 1949 and renamed Canadian Chemical News in 1984. See also
