  MeV class accelerators were introduced in Canada in 1947 with the commissioning of the world’s first microtron producing 4.6 MeV electrons. Through the early years a variety of machines were realized driven by, primarily, sub-atomic physics science pursuits. Two main centres of accelerator activity have emerged in Canada; at TRIUMF in Vancouver and CLS in Saskatoon. A number of smaller accelerators dot the country for medical and other applications. Industrial companies have formed to supply accelerators or accelerator sub-systems. The talk will give a brief historical overview of accelerator development in Canada, describe the present status and provide an overview of future initiatives.
