Since 1903, this relatively simple principle - "Start with a foundation of solid values and stay true to the things you believe in" - has guided The Hill Companies through dramatic changes in business lines, economic and political cycles. Today, it continues to be the cornerstone of every business and philanthropic decision made by the company and its owners. The Hill family's business history started in 1903 with the sale of land on which the Saskatchewan Legislative Buildings are presently situated. The founding company, McCallum Hill Limited, was created in the same year by Walter H.A. Hill and E.A. McCallum. McCallum Hill Limited specialized in real estate development and insurance. Today, The Hill Companies and its primary operating entity Harvard Developments Inc. are headquartered in Regina, Saskatchewan.
