Once upon a time, Izaak Walton Killam was the richest man in Canada. He died in 1955. His wife Dorothy was even more keen, in the decade after her husband's death, to expand the family wealth. In the end, the Killams basically bankrolled the Canada Council, and created the Killam Trusts. To this day, very few people know much about them.
