Major James H. Brace was a pioneering engineer and visionary philanthropist whose work helped shape some of Canada’s most ambitious infrastructure projects in the early 20th century.
As co-founder of Fraser-Brace Engineering Co. Ltd., he played a key role in projects like Quebec’s Gouin Dam and the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories at Chalk River. Upon his passing in 1956, he left a transformative legacy through the Brace Bequest—fueling generations of water research and innovation at McGill.
