The Eleventh Canadian Masonry Symposium was co-organized by McMaster University and the Canada Masonry Design Centre. The work of the organizers was greatly enhanced by the advice and assistance provided by the members of the Organizing Committee, many of whom had recent experience in hosting similar conferences. Members of the Technical Committee had the primary responsibility for review of the submitted papers under the direction of Wael El-Dakhakhni and members listed below.

In addition, members of both the Canadian Advisory Committee and the International Advisory Committee assisted in promoting the Symposium. Many members also assisted the Technical Committee by reviewing some of the submitted papers.
