About Holdun<\/strong>
\nThe Holt-Dunn family is the direct legacy of Sir Herbert Holt, and one of Montreal\u2019s finest. Their ancestor immigrated to Canada in 1873 and built the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company, which would later be expropriated and is now known as Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec. Business people at heart, members of the family founded or owned over 300 companies locally and internationally. At one time, the family possessed assets accounting for about three billion dollars (equivalent to forty billion dollars in today\u2019s currency). That amount was 10 times larger than the Canadian government\u2019s circulating currency. Sir Herbert Holt was inducted into the Canadian Business Hall of Fame in 1979 and is, to this date, the longest-serving chairman and president of RBC (from 1908 to 1934). His participation was crucial in turning RBC into the country\u2019s largest bank and the third largest in North America. <\/p>\n
