History of Canning 

Introduction

The canning of fruit and vegetables was a major part of the economy in the village of Brighton and surrounding communities. 
A full-featured description of that business has not been produced, but we have lots of images and documents that tell pieces of the story. Until something better comes along, The History Guy will provide access to some of those documents on this page and the Brighton Digital Archives have posted many images on the topic on their site. As always, there is more to come.

Canadian Canners Limited

Canadian Canners Limited was an important player in the local canning business and a history was produced in 1986. We have scanned it and a copy of that document is available for download here. Help yourself!
