James Irving

James K. Irving O.C., O.N.B. (b. 1928) is the eldest son of billionaire industrialist K.C. Irving. J.K., as he is normally referred to, along with his brothers, Arthur and Jack, share the ownership of what is known informally as the "Irving Group of Companies".

After their father's death in 1992, ownership and responsibility for the Irving companies were divided as follows:

* James K. — J.D. Irving Limited, the conglomerate with interests in forestry, paper, kraft, tissue, wallboard, building supplies, frozen food, transportation, shipping lines, and shipbuilding.

* Arthur — Irving Oil, its retail stores, oil refinery, oil tankers and distribution terminals and facilities.

* Jack — Construction, engineering, and steel-fabrication companies.

All companies within the Irving conglomerate are vertically integrated and buy services from and products of the related firms, thereby keeping the cash flow within the family.

James Irving is an avid conservationist and is involved in efforts to preserve the Atlantic Salmon in northeastern North America. [http://www.acadiau.ca/whatsnew/newsrelease/2003/spring_convoc_07may03.html]
