Administrative history
Lindwood Holdings Limited was an investment and holding company incorporated in 1971. The company was formed when Oland and Son Limited sold its brewing assets to John Labatt Limited. After this sale, Oland and Son Limited became Lindwood Holdings Limited, Olands Brewery Limited became Lindwood Holdings (N.B.) Limited and Oland and Son (Que) Limited became Lindwood Investments (Que) Limited. Lindwood Holdings retained the non-brewing assets of Oland and Son and its affiliated companies, including farm land, property and real estate, contracts, and other investments.
At the company's inception, Bruce Oland was President of the company, Don J. Oland was Senior Vice- President, Sidney M. Oland was Vice-President and Assistant Secretary-Treasurer and Norman Stanbury was Secretary-Treasurer. Oland Investments Limited owned a 56% stake of the company's shares. Changes to the company's executive occurred throughout the 1970s and early 1980s.
Lindwood Holdings made investments in a wide variety of sectors, including manufacturing, real estate, natural resources, and transportation. The company owned a minority share of Tartan Seafoods and numerous other regional and national businesses. As President of Lindwood Holdings, and later as Chairman of the company's Board of Directors, Bruce Oland remained active in the brewing industry. He regularly consulted with John Labatt Limited and served on the Advisory Board of Oland's Breweries (1971) Limited, the company established by John Labatt Limited to run the brewery in Halifax. In the 1980s, Lindwood Holdings sold many of its assets and became less active in the investment business. Lindwood Holdings was dissolved and its name struck from the Register on June 10, 2010.
