Nickel mining era spurs ammonia plant and fertilizer venture
In 1932 to 1964 the Lynn Lake nickel mine powered a railway and refinery in Alberta led by Brown and McVeigh. The project cost millions including $15 million for the line by the Canadian Government and Canadian National Railways. Professor Forward’s refining method enabled Sherritt Fertilizers. Ammonia plant output exceeded needs, supplying the market. Decades later nickel production surged with Fort Saskatchewan refining and Sherritt’s fertilizer work reshaped Western Canadian farming.
