Canadian Shade Trees Go Metric    (View PDF)

John W. Andresen

Abstract: On 26 September 1975 the Canadian Metric Commission approved the formation of Subsector Committee 8.1.7: Urban Forestry-Arboriculture. As Canada moves through conversion to the metric system it will be the function of 8.1.7 to assist the Canadian Shade Tree Industry In its adoption of metric measurements. In this paper an outline of the 8.1.7 Subsector operations plan describes the sequential steps leading to an orderly transition to metric. A summary of 35 activity programs illustrates the work blocks requisite to final implementation of conversion.
