Timmins Family Finds Last Box Of Frosted Flakes
Pretty neat!
TIMMINS - When Stephane Gaudette sat down to breakfast with his kids, he had no idea he would be serving up a sad artifact of London’s industrial history.
Gaudette, a high school teacher from Timmins, opened a box of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes and found the inner bag had a message noting it was the “very last bag of Canadian cereal for the Canadian market from Kellogg's London Ontario plant.”
Three Kellogg workers, all with more than 20 years of experience, signed the message dated Dec. 5, 2014.
The cereal plant shut down for good on Dec. 21 after 107 years. The closure put more than 500 people out of work. Kellogg has another plant in Belleville, Ont., but the production from the London plant was shifted to the U.S.
The London plant made about 27 cereals, including Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes, Special K and Rice Krispies.

I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

I'd be inclined to put the bag back in the box and tuck it away, quite a keepsake of Canadian history.

Look at those ages. Always sad to see someone lose their job.

Sharon, I'm pretty sure the years represent the length of employment with the company?

Very sad to see and very difficult for employees with that kind of seniority to find equivalent employment elsewhere. There is age discrimination out there people!
On a side note, I emailed HR at work last week in regards in how the company will celebrate my 35 years of continuous service coming up in May.
No reply!
I guess I'm lucky to just keep my job and work another year!
