In 1920, Dr.Wesley Bourne, a lecturer in pharmacology and an anesthetist at McGill University, organized the original Canadian Society of Anaesthetists. Dr. Bourne was a scholar of the Classics and designed the Society’s inaugural crest. After merging with the Canadian Medical Association in 1927, the Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society was again incorporated as an independent organization in 1943. This new organization adopted the crest and motto of the original Society.
