Mennonite Land Settlement Board
The Mennonite Land Settlement Board was organized in July 1924 to take over from the Canadian Mennonite Board of Colonization the work of land settlement. It had nine members, three each from the Canadian Mennonite Board of Colonization, the Central Mennonite Immigration Committee, and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Its work was financed by the Canada Colonization Association, a subsidiary of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1929 the Board was discontinued and its work taken over by the Canadian Colonization Association. The original executive committee was David Toews, chairman, T. O. F. Herzer, and A. A. Friesen.
