Paul Livingston

Paul Livingston took a small family owned welding business (Ben Livingston and Sons Ltd.) and, with his partners, developed numerous new businesses across the Maritimes, which today employ close to 200 people. These businesses, totaling between 12 and 15, have grown in tough economic times. The welding business has expanded to include Livingston Steel Inc. in Summerside and Eastern Fabricators, a stainless steel company, at Pooles Corner.

Paul has served two terms on the Finance Committee of the Town of Stratford, is co-founder of the PEI Flying Association, serves on the executive of the People’s Cemetery of PEI, and was one of the investors who brought the PEI Senators to Prince Edward Island. He has also participated in the Student Achievement Indicator Program for science and was a judge at UPEI for the Nicol competition, a national entrepreneurial award competition.  Paul is a current member of the Holland College Welding Advisory Committee and is PEI’s representative on the national board of Governors of the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB).

Paul received a Distinguished Alumni Award in 2013.
