Niagara’s Post-War Prospects

Description
-
During the Second World War, the Canadian economy was completely transformed to produce goods for the Allied forces under wartime contracts coordinated by the Department of Munitions and Supply. Most of Niagara’s manufacturers were engaged in important war-time production. They produced military parachutes, ammunition, parts for military trucks, tanks, and vessels, rubber, and other military implements.
In 1946, the St. Catharines Standard profiled 17 Niagara businesses over nine months, highlighting their contribution to the peace-time economy in a series it called “Niagara District’s Post-war Prospects”. These articles provided insight into how Niagara’s manufacturing sector responded to post war reconstruction and demonstrated the Niagara worker’s concerns about the peace-time economic climate.
