Biographical HistoryThe Oland Family was involved in the brewing industry for more than 100 years. John James Dunn Oland and Susannah Woodhouse
Culverwell immigrated from England to Nova Scotia with their nine children in 1865. By 1867, they began brewing beer in Dartmouth,
Nova Scotia. The family tradition of beer brewing continued until the Oland Family sold Oland and Son, Limited and A. Keith
and Son Limited in 1971.
Members of the Oland family were great contributors to their Nova Scotian cultural communities. They strongly supported a
variety of activities and organizations, from sports, art, education, agriculture, and the Army and Navy. Most of all, they
were well known for their philanthropic involvement with these charities and organizations.
A comprehensive diagram of the Oland Family tree can be found in the book - What's Brewing - Oland 1867-1971 - A History,
by G. Brenton Haliburton. Members of the family continue to reside in Atlantic Canada.

Victor joined the Reserve in 1946 and retired in 1950.During that time, he served in the South-Pacific,
attached to the United States Forces. In 1956, he rejoined, and remained active in the Reserve until
1960 when he retired permanently, with the rank of Brigadier.

Like all of the members of the Oland family, Victor Oland was actively involved with many different
organizations. Following is a list of some of his positions: He was president of the Canadian
