History
Established in 1955.
In 1955, Clair Hanford Price founded a lumber company in Toronto called Hanford Lumber. Mr. Price's passion for the lumber industry was rooted in his upbringing in New Brunswick, where his large family played an active role in the lumber business. They opened a yard in Montreal and then expanded in Ontario where they established six other lumber yards in Toronto, Hamilton, Whitby, Scarborough, London and Oshawa. The family also owned a logging mill in Haliburton, Ontario.
A few years later, Mr. Price opened a lumber yard at 45 Bethridge Road in Toronto, which he called Hanford Lumber. Most notably, his company supplied timber and lumber for the construction of Toronto's very first subway system on Yonge street. Today, Mr. Price's granddaughter runs the company according to the original vision of her grandfather: supplying timber, lumber, plywood, and other building materials to a diverse customer base across Southern Ontario and beyond.
