Northrop YB-49 flew in October, AW52 in November. What flying wing in Canada, Ray?

Did this precede the Northrup Flying Wing at Edwards AFB?
There was also a small flying wing tested in Canada

I worked for a company, Norris Brothers Ltd. designers of Donald Campbell's Bluebirds. Ken Norris served an apprenticeship at AW and earned the Freedom of the City of Coventry for his work on the AW52
