Abstract
(7 cm ¼ box) containing correspondence and press releases pertaining to the Canadian Gas Association
Description
The Canadian Gas Association began in 1907 with 12 members.
The association’s objectives are: to promote the development of the
Canadian gas industry in all its activities; to extend, increase and further the
use of gas and approved gas-burning equipment; to collect, co-ordinate and
disseminate information for the benefit of its members; to cooperate with
other organizations regarding matters of standardization, safety, education
and welfare pertaining to the gas industry and to promote mutual
improvement of its members through exchange of useful information and
ideas.
In 1955 it adopted a new constitution which set the stage for expansion of
its operations. Some of those operations included: initiation of a gas
appliances approvals program in Ontario and British Columbia for one-stop
testing of Canadian made gas burning equipment; the holding of regional
meetings; publication of newsletters and the holding of workshop
conferences.
Members of the Canadian Gas Association include: natural gas distribution
companies, transmission companies, equipment manufacturers and other
service providers.
