CanIRON is Canada’s national blacksmith conference. It is held every two years, travelling from west to east across Canada. In 2015, CanIRON will makes its final eastern stop on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, before heading back to the western provinces. The event will be hosted by the Cape Breton Blacksmiths Association (CBBA).

As 2015 is Canada’s Craft Year as well as the tenth anniversary of the CanIRON conference, the CBBA is setting out to make CanIRON X an extraordinary event that will inspire blacksmiths across the country and the world with what can be achieved in the blacksmith craft, while raising public awareness of the vibrancy of blacksmithing in Canada.

Current list of featured smiths:

  • Mark Aspery
  • Albert Paley
  • Ian Hope-Simpson
  • Uri Hoffi
  • Zeevik Gottlieb

CanIRON X will be held in the historic and picturesque town of Baddeck, on the shores of the Bras d’Or Lake.

More and updated info will be added as it becomes available.
