Canadian Teachers Enjoy
ASM Materials Camp
During 2015, the ASM Materials Education Foundation
and local ASM chapters in Canada collaborated with the
NACE Foundation of Canada, local NACE sections, and the
NACE Northern Area in presenting five-day ASM Materials
Camps in Calgary and Ottawa for teachers. This was the
10th such camp to be hosted in Calgary and the seventh in
Ottawa. Camps were held at the University of Calgary and at
Ashbury College in Ottawa. A total of 48 teachers attended
the camps. Each teacher received a “C-kit,” courtesy of Car-
boline, including materials and documentation for carrying
out corrosion-based experiments and a corrosion video.
