In October 1943, the members of the Montreal Orthopaedic Association decided to form a national association. The Founding Committee, consisting of Drs. J.C. Favreau, R.I. Harris, A.P. MacKinnon, J.A. Nutter and J.É. Samson drafted the by-laws eight months later. The first Scientific Meeting of the fledging bilingual Canadian Orthopaedic Association (COA) was held in Montreal in June 1945. Twenty-four members attended, some still in armed services uniforms. Orthopaedic education was deemed a priority and training programmes were started in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. |
