  Original site was Swift Canadian Co. slaughterhouse and meat packing works. Bought by Canada Packers in the 1970's and upgraded to an edibles refinery in 1986, the plant operated under various names after 1990 - Canamera Foods then finally as Bunge North America until it closed down in 2008 and was demolished in 2009. Interconnecting steam and fat/oils pipes crossed the west side of the site across Gunns Road/Maybank Ave. to the larger main Canada Packers West Toronto slaughter houses and meat packing facilities which were closed in stages starting in 1984 (Harris Abbatoir - west end of site, demolished in stages until 1994) and in 1996 the Gunns plant was finally closed and demolished in 1997 ending Canada Packers (now Maple Leaf Meats) involvement with the site since the early 1900's.
