Abstract | This speech, prepared for the SI Metric Conference "Metrication is Everybody's Business" held in Newark, Delaware, describes the extent to which the metric system (SI) has been adopted in Canada. The author provides examples of adoption of SI, mixture of SI with the English system, and areas where the English system is retained. He discusses briefly the role of the government and mentions instances of the role of the Canadian press in the Canadian conversion to the metric system. (SD) |
