HISTORY OF THE CMS
The CMS is Canada’s eminent gathering for masonry related technical topics and fields of inquiry and attracts national and international experts on the design, construction, behaviour and performance of all things masonry. The thirteen previous symposia were hosted by the listed Universities and the indicated locations.
Some previous symposia have had their papers digitized and uploaded, you can find these papers at
