History of the Canadian Section
Our past Chair - Professor Weckman - has recently completed a brief history of the Canadian Section of the Combustion Institute. It is a fascinating document that chronicles the growth of the section from its inception in 1954 to the present day.

Aims
The aim of the Canadian Section is to promote the science of combustion and its applications, and in particular:
- To organize technical meetings in this field in Canada;
- To assist members in attending such technical meetings as well as the international symposia of
The Combustion Institute;
- To encourage the communication of knowledge by presentation at the technical meetings of the Section and
at the international symposia; by publication in the open literature generally and in the organs of The Combustion
Institute particularly; and by any other beneficial forms of exchange, private and public;
- To stimulate education in its various forms, such as professional development courses, university short courses,
and university credit courses in combustion science and engineering;
- To draw attention to special problems or conditions existing or arising in Canada in relation to combustion science
and its applications; and
- To initiate or respond to cooperative action with government agencies, industry, universities and other interested associations, institutes, societies or groups in the development and application of combustion science in Canada and other countries.
