Biography:

Czeslaw Piotr Brzozowicz (1911-1997) civil engineer. He began his career as a surveyor on the laying of a highway between Prince George and Prince Rupert in British Columbia. He later moved to Toronto and opened his own consulting firm, CP Brzozowicz Ltd. His first client was the Canadian Breweries Ltd corporation, whose plans, typical of the time, required several reinforced concrete structures in Toronto, Waterloo, Windsor and Montreal. Brzozowicz used concrete structures reinforced with embedded steel bars. This was a relatively uncommon practice in Canada at the time and made the Polish engineer very popular. Among his many construction projects, the Toronto CN Tower, the Toronto-Dominion Centre - the world's first tower with a revolving restaurant overlooking Niagara Falls - and Toronto's first underground line are among the most important he consulted on. He died of pneumonia in Toronto and is laid to rest in the local York (Ontario) Cemetery.
