This color educational film is about the production of steel in Canada by Stelco. Copyright 1967. Stelco is a steel manufacturer based in Hamilton, Ontario. It was founded in 1910 from the amalgamation of several firms. Stelco existed for almost 100 years, until it filed for bankruptcy in 2007 and was bought by U.S. Steel. The Hamilton plant shown in the film has not produced steel since 2011, but its coke ovens and cold rolling finishing works remain in operation. The company also employs workers at facilities in Nanticoke and the Lake Erie Works.

The subtle genius of that comment cannott be overstated
Worked for Bethlehem Steel for 15 years and loved it.
Good from Mysore Karnataka India
The company I work for used to do a lot of work for the Hilton works. Still do a lot for the Lake Erie Works. Dofasco is basically right a cross the street from what was the Hilton Works. We do a lot of work for them as well. Also, Algoma and Ipsco Regina.

@capriracer351 Yes! Dofasco keeps steel works alive and productive in Hamilton. Thank you for sharing about all the others too.
Kindly upload more steel videos of the past. There's plenty of US steel corporation, but in black & white..

Yes - vintage steel videos are the best!
Great film! 👏👏👏👏
Thanks!
Stelco is still operating today. They produce the steel at their newer Lake Erie Works Plant, but the coke ovens, cold mills, and coating lines at the Hilton/Hamilton Works plant are still operating.
Those locomotives at 06:50 are RS-18s, built by Montreal Locomotive Works. One of these units currently runs on the Lake Line Railroad, north of Winnipeg.
I THINK MY UNCLE RAYMOND RACICOT IS DRIVING THAT TRAIN AT 8.03 MARK BUT I COULD BE WRONG HE WAS FROM TIMMINS ONTARIO...RIP UNCLE RAY

I think you meant steel? (Iron is only made by God and nature; it is an element!) Good question though! I wondered too, felt sad for a moment. I am glad to say that ArcelorMittal Dofasco is in Hamilton. They make steel. Lake Erie Works is nearby, also in Ontario. They make steel. Sadly, U.S. Steel of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is gone. They founded Lake Erie Works in 1980. It is good that Canada still has some of its industrial base intact and productive.

@@EllieK actually steel is alloy, made of 99% of iron and some about less than 1% of carbon, and some extra metalls. Usually steel factories are built nearby the source of ore, or coal. Also the Great Lakes are the source of fresh water as well. Probably steel needs decreased since time of this video been made.

Stelco and Dofasco are the bigwigs. Possibly some small outfits as well.
see that at canadian steel wheel
kzread.info/dash/bejne/lYd_s7Wql863YsY.html What Stelco looks like today
You kids aren't from Stoney Creek. How do you know when your friend works at Stelco? Wait 20 seconds. They will tell you for the next 37 minutes. Ask them if they work at Dofasco if you're looking for a useless fight.
It's amazing the difference between the workers in 1967 vs today. Whether in Canada or America, it is the same. @20:53 there are 5 women in view working, their combined weight would only be 2.25 women of today. @23:07 mot one overweight student, @23:53 no overweight office workers . . . . . there would be 50% minimum of that number overweight, another 15% morbidly obese . . . . look around anywhere it is bad. . . . all you have to do is start looking at audiences at games, news, videos, on the streets etc.
The future looks amazing. 2023: what is a women?
