Bill ( as he was known to family & friends) was the oldest child of Lillian & Edson Place and was born the same day his paternal grandfather, Aylmer Place, died. He was born and raised in Montreal and had a great love of sailing. Due to an underlying heart condition caused by rheumatic fever as a child, he did not serve in the second World War.
On 31 May 1941 he married Evelyn Morrice Randolph Hunter. He had 2 daughters, Margot Anne Morrice Place and Diana Lindsay Morrice Place.
Lindsay H. Place obtained his Bachelor of Civil Law degree from McGill University in 1936 and practiced law until 1942 when he joined the Alcan Aluminum Limited Group of Companies, where he held many posts over the years. He was to become recognized as a senior legal counsel and later a vice-president of Alcan's legal arm, Alcan Secretariat. To add to a remarkable record, he was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1962, a member of the executive of the Downtown Y.M.C.A., municipal judge for Pointe claire and Beaconsfield, and a Director of the Child Care and Child Development Centers.
He also became a member of the Pointe Claire/Beaconsfield Protestant School Board in 1936 and within 5 years had become the board's chairman. He fulfilled that role until 1967 when he was forced to resign because of ill health. During the 1950's and 1960's he was the driving force behind the emergence of the Lakeshore School Board as it expanded from a few schools and gradually became a major school board in Quebec.
Lindsay Place High School opened its doors in 1962, named after Judge Lindsay H. Place, Q. C. in celebration of his 25 years of service and leadership to Protestant education in Quebec and the Lakeshore area in particular.
In 1976, at age 65, Judge Lindsay H. Place died of cancer.
