Nicolas Appert is the first to have found a way to preserve food by putting the content into an hermetic glass jar and boiling it. This happened at the beginning of the 19th century. Tin cans soon were used to preserve food and canning became an important commercial activity in Canada to preserve food and to offer it for sale to a growing number of city residents in the context of rapid urbanisation . The first successful fruit and vegetable canning factory in Canada is attributed to Wellington Boulter in Pictou, Ontario, in 1882. Previously to this, canning was mainly commercially done for salmon. “The Aylmer Canning Factory was first established in 1879 in Aylmer Ontario. It was sold to partners Marshall and Nairn… .According to a 1891 census, it was the third largest such plant in Canada! Aylmer Canning Factory was eventually sold to Del Monte.” [see worksheet for the complete information]
