I have to admit, I hadn't realized the situation was quite so grim, but Niagara's last - Ontario's last - fruit cannery closed last month. In fact, the article says it's the last one east of Britich Columbia. Farmers are already ripping out hundreds of acres of peach trees.
A vegetable plant in Exeter has closed as well.
Time to take up canning your own food. I have to say, I was amazed last year when I was trying to find some commercially canned fruit, and could find nothing in the store. Nothing at all.

That is so sad when an industry closes especially when the Niagar region is famous for being a fruit belt. By the way I also passed an award along you way Ferdzy:D
