The Canadian Metric Association was founded in the summer of 1969 to
encourage Canada to go metric.  That was before the Canadian Government
announced in 1970 that indeed, Canada was going to go metric.  From then on
our aim was to provide informative pamphlets about various aspects of the
metric system, and  to publish a quarterly journal of metric news from
around the world.  By the end of 1982 metric information was widely
available in Canada, and news of metric conversion around the world had
dried up. .India, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand had completed
very successful conversions.  The United Kingdom and Ireland were
converting.   Retail scale conversion was going well in Canada.  The
remaining battlefront was the USA.  We therefore decided to cease activity
We turned over our pamphlets to USMA and distributed a sample copy of
Metric Today to all our members, with the suggestion that they join USMA.
