Camsell, Charles, 1876-1958 : Charles Camsell, geologist, public servant and mining engineer, was born at Fort Laird, N.W.T., where his father, Julian Stewart Onion (who adopted the surname Camsell in 1877) was chief factor for the Hudson's Bay Company. In 1884 he went to Winnipeg where he attended St. John College. He entered the University of Manitoba in 1891 and received his B.A. in 1894. In 1901 he entered Queen's University, and in 1902, Harvard. In 1904 Camsell joined the Geological Survey and in 1914 was appointed Geologist in Charge of Exploration to plan the exploration of northern Canada.

With the coming of World War I, Camsell joined Number Three Field Company, R.C.E. in 1915, but was recalled to the Geological Survey and assigned first to the Munitions Board and later to the Canadian Munition Resources Commission to search for strategic minerals. He held the position of Deputy Minister of Mines from 1920 until his retirement in 1946. He contributed much to the development of this department which became the Department of Mines and Resources in 1936. He initiated laboratory research to complement field exploration, broadened the department's function to include publishing and the National Museum and kept its esprit de corps alive during the Depression.

He was the author of many geological papers. Camsell served in a number of capacities on boards, commissions and councils, and acted as a delegate to many international conferences throughout his career.
