Historique
Sir Joseph Wesley Flavelle was born at Peterborough, Ontario, in 1858. After leaving school he joined his father in a pork-packing and provision business. On September 29, 1882, he married Clara, the daughter of the Reverend Oren Hamilton Ellsworth and together they had one son and two daughters. In 1887, he moved to Toronto where he achieved prominence in the packing industry and became a leading industrialist, financier and philanthropist. In 1889 he was elected President of the National Trust Company and Vice-President of the Robert Simpson Company. He was also a governor of the University of Toronto. From 1915 to 1921 he was chairman of the Imperial Munitions Board (I.M.B.), a body which succeeded the Shell Committee formed by Sam Hughes in 1914. From 1920 to 1922 he was chairman of the Grand Trunk Railway and took a leading part in the reorganization that led to the founding of the Canadian National Railway. He died at Palm Beach, Florida, on March 7, 1939.
