The Associated Screen News of Canada (ASN) was incorporated in 1920 by the Canadian Pacific Railway in Montreal. Ben Norrish, who formerly worked for the Canadian Government Motion Picture Board, was appointed as the head of ASN. In the period of 1920 to 1958, ASN produced the majority of newsreels, shorts and industrial films in Canada.
