History

Thumb
The Trusts and Guarantee Building at 302 Bay Street in Toronto. This became Crown's headquarters after it was taken over in 1946.

In January 1946, the Trust and Guarantee Company Limited acquired Crown Trust.[3] For one year it operated under the name the Crown Trust and Guarantee Company. In December 1947 it was renamed the Crown Trust Company.

In 1983 the trust collapsed and the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) stepped in to protect clients. The CDIC organized for all the assets and responsibilities to be transferred to Central Trust Company. However, as the trust was provincially incorporated and under Ontario's jurisdiction, each province had to pass legislation to effect the transfer.[4][5]
