The Family That Owns New Brunswick: The House of Irving

Premiered Nov 17, 2023 #newbrunswick #capitalism #documentary

If you ask just about anyone in New Brunswick about the Irving family, you're likely to get a strong response one way or the other. But beyond the province, not many people have heard of the family. The Irvings own so much of New Brunswick, whether it be land, industries, or politicians, that the entire province has been called a company town. They own Irving Oil, the largest oil refinery in the country, in Saint John, New Brunswick, and operate one of the province's most prolific logging operations. So who are the Irvings? Starting from humble beginnings in the early 20th century, the Irving family has built up an expansive empire that has ruled the province for decades. But the question remains, has their dominance been good for the people of New Brunswick?

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Trivelle started The Drive Group in 2016 from a tax return and has since grown it into a multi million dollar company. His history of working in start up environments of many forms across varying industries helped him to develop the skill of identifying smart risks, knowing when to step back and when to push forward. After several years working for large organizations such as Davis + Henderson, The Royal Bank of Canada, Genworth, Manulife, and as the Chief Operating Officer for Chelle Service Capital, Trivelle was inspired to start a company that focused on trends and analysis to help businesses achieve consistent cash flow.

In the beginning this kernel of an idea was fueled by the feeling that there must be a better way to do business. That core value is true of the company today and will continue to be true well into the future. The Drive Group has grown from a business consultancy company, to a venture capital and real estate development organization that partners with innovative people and companies.

Beyond his business success, Trivelle is an acclaimed artist and speaker. His ability to combine his knowledge of entrepreneurship, the political and economic landscape, and social trends make him an ideal guest or speaker.
