Note:

Robert A. Laidlaw (1886-1976) was a prominent Ontario businessman and philanthropist. He joined his father's lumber firm after graduation in 1908 and during a long and successful career, served it, and other important Canadian corporations. However, he is best remembered for his philanthropic work, making major contributions to leading healthcare, educational and cultural institutions including the Hospital for Sick Children, the University of Toronto, the National Ballet School, and the National Ballet of Canada. In 1949 Laidlaw helped establish the Laidlaw Foundation, ensuring the continuation of his philanthropic efforts.
