 he
name of the company, MacLeod Glenelg Holdings Canada Limited is
purposeful. Juxtaposing two ancient names: MacLeod and Glenelg, the former
being familial, and patrialineal, while the latter geographic, one might find
them quite dissimilar except for the fact that history has seen them
inextricably intertwined. The MacLeod's of Glenelg rendered in the Gaelic as
MacLeoid date back over six hundred years. Granted a sheltered valley in the
North of Scotland, the Valley or Glen of "Elg" with its noble vistas and rugged
beauty stands well by the Gaelic which means Glen of Nobility. An apt name
indeed as one surveys our "new world" Head Office location, here in Penticton
British Columbia the heart of the Okanagan Valley. "Noble in its grandeur",
Penticton which means: "a place to stay forever" is truly a place one might
intend to do just that.
As "the old gives rise to the new", so our branch of the MacLeod's coming to
Canada in 1792 are Canadians of long standing and the company MacLeod of
Glenelg has a rich legacy to live up to. Our name and the products we carry
bearing the "macglen logo" (a name which means "Son of the Glen") warrants a
pride in reputation and service that is yours to expect. As a wholly owned
Canadian Federally Incorporated, and provincially registered company the
services and products we provide are of the highest order, or they be not at
all. Our name is our pledge and your assurance of quality.
