Macmillan of Canada

Macmillan of Canada was a Canadian publishing house.

The company was founded in 1905 as the Canadian arm of the English publisher Macmillan. At that time it was known as the "Macmillan Company of Canada Ltd." In the course of its existence the name changed to "Macmillan of Canada" and "Macmillan Canada".

Macmillan of Canada was sold to Maclean-Hunter in 1973, who, some seven years later, sold it on to Gage Publishing.

In 1999 Macmillan Canada, as it was then known, became an imprint of CDG Books, which was purchased in 2002 by John Wiley & Sons, at which time Macmillan Canada ceased to exist either as an imprint or a publishing house.
