John Labatt

Career

Little is known of his early years. Labatt immigrated to Canada in the 1830s and initially established himself as a farmer near London, Upper Canada. When Eccles retired in 1854, Labatt acquired his interest, and renamed the interest the "London Brewery".

Membership

Beyond the brewery, Labatt was a town councillor for Street David’s Ward from 1850 to 1851 and a member of the London Board of Trade, as well as founding the London and Portuguese Stanley Railway.
