The line so far

From 1971 to the Canada Games.

Fifty-plus years is a long run for a family shop. The short version, welded into four dates.

  1. The shop opens

    A family steel shop starts up in Sudbury — family owned and operated from the first day, and still.

  2. The name on the papers

    The company reincorporates as C & A Steel (1983) Ltd. The (1983) has been part of the name ever since.

  3. The big one

    More than 1,000 tonnes of joists, trusses, deck and structural steel for the Canada Games Park in the Niagara region — a national project, out of a Sudbury plant.

  4. The second generation

    Giovanni Carniel, CEO, and Ellena Hodder, Project Manager/Estimating, run the shop today. Same address, same trade.
