The Hallman Legacy
Impact of the Hallman Family in Waterloo Region
by John G. Fast




In South Central Ontario, the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation has contributed almost $90 million to Waterloo Region for social, educational, and mental health services since 2004. It is one of Canada’s largest philanthropic trusts. Yet, despite this profound impact, the Hallman legacy is not well known—it’s been rather a well-kept secret … until now.

The Hallman Legacy: Impact of the Hallman Family in Waterloo Region is a memoir of the Hallman business family and the unique leadership of three men: Lyle Hallman, Peter Hallman, and Jim Hallman. It recounts how the family business began, how it grew, and how out of years of family turbulence, a succession crisis, and unforeseen tragedy, a legacy was created that gave birth to a granting foundation that continues to do good for many people.

This book is also a celebration—it marks the 100-year milestone of Lyle S. Hallman and 75 years of Hallman Construction. May the Hallmans’ captivating journey inspire you to join the drive to do good in our communities.
