Who We Are

We are a Perth, Ontario based blacksmithing and fabrication business focused 
on providing Canadian quality at competitive prices.

Forged in Canada is not a business but a passion.  Don MacKay,  a master blacksmith and owner of Forged in Canada, worked for many years as a blacksmith for the Rideau Canal National Historic Site of Canada, an UNESCO World Heritage Site in an 1843 heritage forge.  As a blacksmith for this unique site, Don MacKay forged his skills using only traditional techniques and equipment. In 1843 one did not have the luxury of electricity or todays modern equipment.  As he does today, the coal fired forge heats his metal up to 2400 degrees Fahrenheit allowing him to manipulate it into any item that is desired.  One is only limited by ones imagination.

Today, Forged in Canada is growing.  Currently, renovations and relocation of the business are taking place to accommodate the growth.  The new facility will be closer to the Town of Perth allowing closer access to customers along the Trans Canada Highway. The new facility is being expanded for 4 coal forges and one

propane forge allowing more class participants and continued partnership with Algonquin College which currently offers heritage masonry and carpentry courses at the Perth Campus. 

Stay tuned for updates as progress moves forward.
