In January, 1970, Ottawa published the White Paper on Metric Conversion in Canada. Most people are aware of the conversion, but not that Canada is in its sixth year of metric conversion. It is usually the fifth, sixth or even the
seventh year before the general public becomes consciously aware of a country converting to the metric system.
