Galt's business career began in 1883, following a period in the 1870s as clerk to various Montreal businessmen including John Rose and having held the position of secretary to Edgar Dewdney, Indian commissioner for the Northwest Territories, which led to Galt's appointment as assistant Indian commissioner at Regina.[4]
With his father, Galt was a major figure in the financing and management of Lethbridge, Alberta, building 571 kilometres of irrigation canals and establishing coal mines with a daily capacity of over 2,000 tonnes.[5]
Galt died, unmarried, from complications related to a heart attack in New York City, where he had gone for medical treatment.
