Overview

From 1939 to 1942 Canada, allied to the United Kingdom, prepared to defend itself against chemical attack by Nazi Germany. After the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, Canada became part of an alliance with the United States and the United Kingdom. Canadian chemical warfare preparations went from defensive to offensive following the attack on Pearl Harbor and the entry of the United States into the war. The chemical warfare preparations included preparation and testing of toxic gases and smokes, smoke screening and flame weapons. One of the most important Canadian contributions to the alliance was the establishment of the Suffield Field Experimental Station in Alberta. This base was used in carrying out chemical weapon trials, during which approximately 2000 Canadian citizens and soldiers were exposed to toxic gases with significant physical damage as a result.
