Peter Gilgan founded Mattamy Homes in 1978 and sought to inject creativity and a sense of family into his projects. Mattamy Homes evolved over years, and the company is now the largest privately owned homebuilder in North America. Throughout his career, Gilgan has also prioritized giving back to the community and has a history and reputation for making significant philanthropic contributions to multiple charities and organizations through the Peter Gilgan Foundation. His multi-million-dollar commitment to philanthropy and community building is unparalleled, from health care to physical activity, to higher education and community legacies. His lifetime charitable donations to date total more than $370 million. In February 2022, Mr. Gilgan made an historic gift of $105 million to Mississauga’s Trillium Health Partners – the largest donation to a hospital in Canadian history, to support Trillium in building the biggest and most advanced hospital in Canada. Legends Row is proud to Induct Peter Gilgan into Mississauga’s Walk of Fame.
