- W1566174649 abstract "Canada is one of the leading peat-producing countries in the world although this was not always so. Commercial peat operations began in Quebec in 1864. Early attempts to commercialize fuel peat failed by the 1880s. Renewed interest in fuel peat resumed in the 1890s, mostly in Ontario and Quebec. After World War I the federal government assisted by purchasing a commercial peat plant at Alfred, Ontario. Between the wars, the industry began to move away from fuel peat production to new production of horticultural peat and other peat-based products, a trend that was greatly accelerated during and after World War II. Indeed, World War II was a major turning point for the industry. European peat exports to the large American market were no longer economically viable, thereby creating new market opportunities for Canada. Although the industry largely began in Ontario and Quebec, British Columbia was one of the largest peat-producing regions in the world for a brief period following World War II. Today, commercial operations are virtually non-existent in Ontario and British Columbia. Quebec, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Alberta are the primary peat-producing regions of the country. Despite early difficulties, Canada's peat industry has become a vibrant and important industry, nationally and internationally.ResumeBien q'il n'en fut pas toujours ainsi, le Canada est maintenant l'un des plus importants producteurs de tourbe au monde, la production commerciale ayant debute au Quebec en 1864. Les premieres tentatives d'exploitation de la tourbe comme combustible ont echoue dans lesannees 1880 mais, on s'y est de nouveau interesse dans les annees 1890, surtout en Ontario et au Quebec. Apres la premiere guerre mondiale, le Canada a soutenu le developpement de cette industrie en se portant acquereur d'une exploitation situee a Alfred en Ontario. Entre les deux grandes guerres, l'industrie a progressive-ment delaisse la production de tourbe combustible pour s'interesser de plus enplus a des produits d'utilite horticole et autre, tendance qui s'est grandement acceleree pendant et apres la seconde grande guerre. La deuxieme grande guerrea vraiment constitue un point tournant pour cette industrie lorsque l'exportation de tourbe a partir de l'Europe vers le vaste marche americain s'etant tarie, tout ce marche s'est alors ouvert a l'industrie canadienne de la tourbe. Bien que cette industrie se soit surtout developpee en Ontario et au Quebec initialement, la Colombie Britannique fut l'une des plus importantes regions productrices de tourbe pendant une courte periode apres la fin de la deuxieme grande guerre. De nos jours, il n'existe pratiquement plus aucune activite d'exploitation commerciale en Ontario et en Colombie-Britannique. Le Quebec, le Nouveau-Brunswick, le Manitoba et l'Alberta sont les principales regions productrices du pays. En depit de ses difficultes initiales, l'industrie canadienne de la tourbe est devenue l'une des plus vigoureuse industrie tant sur le plan national qu'international." @default.
