DOSCO
DOSCO was one of the largest private employers in Canada when it was purchased as a subsidiary of A.V. Roe Canada Company Ltd. The company was dissolved in 1968 after the majority of its coal mining and steel mill industrial assets in Industrial Cape Breton were expropriated and nationalized by the federal and provincial governments (see SYSCO and DEVCO). Other subsidiaries included mining, engineering, shipping, rail car manufacturing and shipbuilding:
- Halifax Shipyards
- Cumberland Railway and Coal Company.
- Sydney and Louisburg Railway, an historic railway in Cape Breton Island, NS.
