Canadian war production

[Perry Kitson]

John,
Yes, I am going to try to be as comprehensive as I can.

David and Clive,
Thanks for the information, I will follow up on that and get back to you if I need any assistance.

If these books have the details I'm looking for, the work may already be done for me.

Hello again, Perry.

I got curious, went foraging in a file cabinet in the basement and found my copy of INFOEX.

There are seven pages of companies, Peter was able to ID for their production efforts during WW2 in Canada, from A. Belanger Ltd. in Montmagny QC who made Depth Charge Cases, to the Zenite Molybdenite Corp. Ltd in Renfrew, ON who (surprise, surprise) provided Molybdenum.

There are approx 56 companies per page, so Canada's contribution to the war effort was quite significant for a country of under 12 million at the time! If you are interested, I can try and assemble a PDF of this INFOEX information for you. Let me know. I know Peter Ford would be thrilled that somebody new would get a peek at his handwork.

Cheers,


David

Sounds like he missed Zephyr Loom & Textile (ZL&T) who made most of Canada's webbing.
