Advocate, teacher, promoter.  The Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC) is Canada's voice for the steel construction industry.  The CISC promotes dialogue, collaboration and commerce between industry staekholders - advancing the benefits of steel to the consulting community, builders and buyers, academia and government. The CISC represents a diverse community of steel manufacturers, fabricators and constructors, engineers and architects, owners and developers, and educators and students, offering a wide span of products and services to enhance capabilities and grow businesses.

The Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) certifies people, products and companies in the welding and joining industry.  Beyond certification, the CWB provides extensive world class welding education and technical refrence material through its CWB Institute.  Within the IIW system, the CWB is the Authorized National Body (ANB) and the Authorized National Body for Company Certification (ANBCC) providing IIW diploma and ISO 3834 certification services respectively.  CWB believes in the future of welding and engages, supports and speaks on behalf of the Canadian welding and joining industry and its welding personnel through the Canadian Welding Association (CWA).

CanmetMATERIALS (CMAT), a branch of the Minerals and Metals Sector (MMS) of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), focuses on cutting-edge scientific research related to the value-added use of minerals and metals. This includes new materials and pilot-scale processing technologies such as casting, forming, and joining.  The laboratory maintains in-depth competencies for materials performance assessment and microstructural characterization, and manages Canada's Certifying Agency for Nondestructive Testing Personnel.

As North America's only Authorized Training Body for the IIW, Northern College offers classroom training requirements for the International Welding Technologist (IWT) designation. Graduates become welding professionals who not only understand the material being joined, but also the effect of welding variables of many welding processes on the final product.  To achieve this, lab time is intertwined with a curriculum emphasizing metallurgical science and engineering theory.
