Abstract
Entomology in Canada began about the middle of the nineteenth century with a small but able group of hobbyists. They became active shortly before confederation in what was then the Province of Canada, a temporary union of the present provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Today, a century later, the science is firmly founded throughout the coilntry with over 400 professional entomologists, more than 50 well-equipped research centres, 16 institutions giving formal instruction, and eight profesional societies. Entomological advisory services are estahlished in several provinces and federal legislation protects the public against the spread of nosious insects and the fraudulent or dangerous sale of materials for their control.
