- Martin K. Levinson was born in Ottawa on March 31, 1909 and died in Jerusalem, June 18, 1996. He was the son of Sophia and Abraham Levinson. Martin attended McGill University in Montreal at a time when it was difficult for Jews to obtain entrance. He graduated in 1930 and remained in Montreal until he completed his final exams to become a chartered accountant in 1932. In 1933 Martin opened his own accounting firm in Ottawa - Martin K. Levinson & Company. He also became manager of his father’s movie theater, the Rialto, in 1936. He was approached by Peat Marwick Mitchell in 1964 and subsequently become a managing partner of their first Ottawa office. “He was also the first Jewish partner in Canada and the only Orthodox Jew in the senior level of their organization.” He trained other noted Ottawa Jewish accountants Milton Kimmel, Morris Agulnick, Joe Ages and Issie Landau. Martin retired in 1974. Martin K. Levinson married Elizabeth Freidgut of Regina, Saskatchewan on December 13, 1936, in Regina.
