Photos of cannery employees in Grimsby c. 1914 & 1920. Women, children & seasonal immigrant labourers were instrumental in the tender fruit sector, especially during wartime. So many interesting stories in this @GrimsbyMuseum collection! #niagarahistory communitystories.ca/v1/pm_v2…

19th c. Wainfleet property records head scratcher of the day: the Provincial Natural Gas & Fuel Company. Couldn't figure out what the heck this meant until a census 10 yrs later listed the landowner's son working as a "gas driller." These lightbulb moments are so satisfying!

The Dutch store never disappoints. Can confirm the salty banana dropjes are indeed not banana flavoured. 👍 – at St. Catharines, Ontario
