The Saskatchewan Masonry Institute (SMI) and the Canada Masonry Design Centre (CMDC) formed a partnership to open a CMDC office in Saskatchewan. The CMDC is committed to providing masonry contractors and designers in Canada with the tools and resources to facilitate proper design and construction of masonry structures. In this endeavor, CMDC hired a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan’s Civil Engineering program to work with the rest of the CMDC staff on national initiatives such as the MASS software, design textbooks, the Engineered Masonry Design Course, research programs, as well as codes and standards development.
