Mathematics in Canada for the twenty years after WWII revolved about men, meetings and money. Set up specifically to foster meetings among Canadian mathematicians from 1943-1945, supported by money extracted from industry and commerce -- extraction raised to an art form by Treasurer Lloyd Williams (President Gordon Pall and Secretary, Father Eric O'Connor, were two more of the original founders) -- the Congress spawned the Canadian Journal of Mathematics and the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin. The society outgrew its original purpose and became the Canadian Mathematical Society. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0955.00031].
