Acknowledgements Golder would gratefully like to acknowledge the following contributions
which made the Hamilton Airshed Modelling System possible. The initial and boundary conditions
from GEOS-CHEM were provided by Dr. Barron Henderson and his research team at the University in Florida. Environment and Climate Change Canada provided the SMOKE ready national
emissions inventory for Canada, as well as Paul Makar and Junhua Zhang providing technical expertise on processing emissions in SMOKE and interpreting the impact on modelled concentrations.
Finally, Golder would like to thank the Project Steering Committee and the Hamilton Industrial
Environmental Association for providing continued direction during the project.
