    I 1-1 Staff Comment Form Date: May 8, 2013 To: Brampton Heritage Board Property: 69 Queen Street West Applicant: 2179986 Ontario Inc. Subject: 69 Queen Street West - Heritage Impact Assessment This staff comment form has been prepared for the Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the cultural heritage resource at 69 Queen Street West, also known as the former Peel Creamery. This HIA was submitted as part of the notice of intention to apply for a demolition permit that was submitted by the property owner, as required under Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The HIA has been prepared to determine whether the heritage resource contains enough cultural heritage value to warrant retention, and outline mitigation measures that should be implemented. The attached HIA satisfies the City’s requirements for a Heritage Impact Assessment. HIA Details: Prepared By: Su Murdoch Historical Consulting Final Submission: May 2014 I 1-2 Subject Site o 69 Queen Street West is located near the southwest corner of Queen Street West and George Street South in downtown Brampton. o The property contains concrete block building that is currently vacant. o The property is listed on the City of Brampton’s Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources. o The property owner has submitted a notice of intention to apply for a demolition permit. Report Highlights: o The concrete block building was erected circa 1925 for the operation of The Peel Creamery. o The Peel Creamery was operated by the Pulfer/Dennis family from 1924 until at least 1971. o The building was subsequently used by a catering company, and most recently, an automotive repair business.

    SISTERS IN TOIL: THE PROGRESSIVE DEY ALUATION AND DEFEMINIZATION OF ONTARIO DAIRYWOMEN'S WORK AND TOOLS, 1813-1914 by © Meredith Leigh Quaile A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, Faculty of Arts Memorial University of Newfoundland & Labrador June 2010 St. John's Newfoundland & Labrador Abstract In nineteenth and early-twentieth century Ontario, dairywomen toiled daily with cows and manure, sour milk and greasy butter, yet without improved apparatus, agricultural education, or male support. On the provincial family farm, milking, cream­ separating, and butter-making chores included various time-consuming steps, physical labour, and an array of task-specific objects. This thesis analyses agriculture, and dairying in specific, as it began the transition from traditional to industri al, and consequently from female to male. This dissertation touches on particular topics relevant to farmwomen's labour, including: agricultural education and improvement through science; public debate and perception surrounding gendered work; the government's role in promoting industrialization and thus defeminization; the concept of the dairyqueen in technological advertising; and, in particular, real farmwomen. These dairying 'sisters' include the well known , like Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Trail! , Laura Rose, and El iza Jones, and the unknown, such as Mary Newsam and the Hallen sisters, wh il e focusing on Lamira Billings and her daughters Sabra and Sally. This qualitative study reveals that by empl oying common dairy tools as a dominant, primary source, there are alternative perspectives from whi ch to consider rural women's ex peri ences.

  • Dairy Cows & Making Butter
    Dairy Cows Lesson Concept Objective: Understand how cows are raised for dairy, and how milk is turned into dairy products. Time: 40-45 minutes Setting: Indoors Activities: Read “Clarabelle: Making Milk and So Much More”, Make Butter Procedure: 1. Read “Clarabelle” to the students, then discuss the raising of dairy cows. Talk about the basics of animal care: food, proper shelter, lighting, heat, exercise, milking, and vet care. 2. Discuss Butter Making process with students, show pictures of Churns. 3. Eat the butter on crackers or bread. Making Butter Heavy Whipping Cream Small Glass Jar with Lid Salt Crackers 1. Fill jar 2/3 full with heavy whipping cream. 2. Add small amount of salt if desired. 3. Have students shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes per students, then pass and continue shaking until distinct solids and whey forms. 4. Drain whey. 5. Serve on crackers or bread. Making Butter Background Information: BUTTER-MAKING - HOME CHURNS AND UTENSILS Home butter-making took time and energy, but only needed simple equipment. Low-tech methods were still well-known in rural parts of developed countries like the USA in the mid-20th century. In the UK it became less common for ordinary families to make their own butter in the course of the 19th century, but the old ways were still used on small farms and in the dairies belonging to grand houses. After the cow(s) were milked, the milk was left to settle in a cool place, in shallow dishes, also called setting dishes or pancheons, so the cream would rise to the top.

    ILCA Manual No. 4 Rural dairy technology Experiences in Ethiopia Frank O'Mahony International Livestock Centre for Africa \mMM H ''s&A*Mt>M' Rural dairy technology Experiences in Ethiopia Frank O'Mahony Dairy Technology Unit International Livestock Centre for Africa P.O.Box 5689 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia First published in March 1988 Original English Designed and printed at ILCA Typeset on Linotype CRTronic 360 in Baskerville lOpt and Helvetica ISBN 92-9053-092-8 Acknowledgements ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This manual is based largely on the work of the late Frank O'Mahony. Several people have, however, contributed to its final form, including Lars Olesen and Noel Rochford of the FAO Regional Dairy Development Training Team for English Speaking Countries, Naivasha, Kenya; Michael O'Riordain of Khartoum University; and Paul Neate, who compiled, edited and coordinated the production of the manual. in Foreword FOREWORD The information in this manual is based on ILCA's experiences, and particularly the work of the late Frank O'Mahony, in Ethiopia between 1984 and 1986. The manual is intended as a teaching aid for extension-level technicians, and this is reflected in the practical nature of the material. The level of technology is largely aimed at individual smallholders, but with some reference to techniques that could be used by groups of farmers or producers' cooperatives. Despite being limited to experience gained in Ethiopia, we believe that the information and techniques given in this manual will be useful to dairy technologists and development workers in other parts of Africa. |<L kM/C John Walsh Director General Contents 8.1.4 Determination of milk acidity 53 8.1.5 Alcohol test 54 8.1.6 Clot-on-boiling test 54 8.1.7 Butterfat determination 55 8.1.8 Determination of milk specific gravity 56 8.1.9 Determination of total solids (TS) and solids-not-fat (SNF) 57 8.1.10 Determination of moisture content of butter 58 9.
