  • The Canada Company was a private British land development company that was established to aid in the colonization of a large part of Upper Canada. It was incorporated by royal charter on August 19, 1826, under an act of the British parliament, which was given royal assent on June 27, 1825. It was originally formed to acquire and develop Upper Canada's undeveloped clergy reserves and Crown reserves, which the company bought in 1827 for £341,000 ($693,000) from the Province of Upper Canada. Founded by John Galt, who became its first Superintendent, the company was successful in populating an area called the Huron Tract – an achievement later called "the most important single attempt at settlement in Canadian history". It is unrelated to the modern-day Canadian charity of the same name, founded in 2006, which assists former Canadian military members and their spouses regain civilian employment after service in the Canadian Armed Forces.

  • La Canada Company est formée en 1824 dans le but d'ouvrir à la colonisation l'ouest de l'Ontario. En 1826, elle achète au gouvernement britannique 1,1 million d'acres (environ 445 000 hectares) de terre dans le « Huron Tract », puis 1,4 million d'acres (environ 567 000 hectares) sur les réserves de l'État dispersées à travers la province pour la somme de 295 000 $. La Canada Company construit des routes, amène des colons et fonde les villes de Guelph, Galt et Goderich. (fr)
  • 加拿大公司是英国一家大型的特许私营土地开发公司，于1825年7月27日由英国议会批准成立，旨在协助接管上加拿大。加拿大公司通过提供更好的船只、更低的船费、各种工具以及廉价的土地来协助移民。苏格兰小说家 (John Galt)是该公司的第一任加拿大籍经理。上加拿大政府以341000英镑的价格向其出售了10000平方公里的土地。其中将近一半的土地，包括今天位于休伦湖东岸的，其余的位于上加拿大的其他后来成为教会公司的教会保留区的区域。约翰·加尔特选定了安大略省的圭尔夫作为公司总部的所在地。公司对这广袤的土地进行了调查并划分了区域，还铺设了道路，建造了磨坊和学校，并向欧洲的买家做广告。然后他们通过其在安大略湖上的一艘小船协助那些定居者迁移到这片区域当中。 加拿大公司的管理不善和腐败、以及其与托利党精英的紧密联盟关系，亦即所谓的“家族盟约（Family Compact）”，是导致1837年的主要因素。 该公司于1953年12月18日解散。 (zh)
