Our STory
We build what endures.
and a simple promise at the heart of it all: leave every place better than we found it.
Di Brina Family Holdings is a Canadian family enterprise with roots in Northern Ontario and ambitions that reach nationwide. Guided by heritage, stewardship, and a long-term view, we partner with business owners and communities to build companies that last—and to reinvest in the people and regions that shape our story.
Our work spans financial services, real estate and development, media and film, and emerging ventures that contribute to Canada’s economic future. Across every sector, we commit to the same principles: treat people with respect, make decisions that stand the test of time, and measure success by what our companies leave behind—strong jobs, dependable services, and communities that thrive.
Our values are reflected not only in what we build, but in what we choose to support. In recent years, we helped establish a $100,000 unrestricted endowment at Cambrian College’s Douglas A. Smith Family School of Business, contributed $25,000 to strengthen Kivi Park’s outdoor infrastructure, and made a $1,000,000 investment in Health Sciences North Foundation to expand cancer care capacity for families across the region. These commitments sit alongside our continued support for education, healthcare, recreation, and local institutions that form the backbone of vibrant Canadian communities.
We believe in clear promises and steady delivery. We show up, honour our commitments, and take the long view—because legacy is built one decision, one partnership, and one community impact at a time. This is the story we’re shaping in Sudbury, across Northern Ontario, and throughout Canada
