About the The W. Garfield Weston Foundation
(uoguelph.ca) - The W. Garfield Weston Foundation is a private Canadian family foundation, established in the 1950βs by Willard Garfield Weston and his wife Reta. In 1924 Garfield inherited his fatherβs company and during his life established bakeries and other successful enterprises throughout Canada and in many parts of the world. Today, these businesses include the George Weston Limited and Loblaw Companies Limited, companies in food retailing, processing and distribution. The founders believed that as the funds are generated through the hard work and success of these Canadian companies, grants should be given in Canada for the benefit of Canadians. For three generations, The W. Garfield Weston Foundation has maintained a family tradition of supporting charitable organizations across Canada. Today the Foundation directs the majority of its funds to projects in the fields of land conservation, education, and science in Canadaβs North.
