Cream of Barley Mill
Cream of Barley Mill

The Cream of Barley Mill is a historic mill in the town of Bowmanville, Municipality of Clarington, Ontario, Canada. Scottish immigrant John MacKay created a new hot cereal product called "cream of barley". In 1884 he bought the preexisting Caledonia Mill, situated on the banks of Soper Creek on the outskirts of the town of Bowmanville, to manufacture his product. The mill was originally built in 1805 by Leonard Soper as a grist mill, and was owned and operated by several others before being bought by McKay. McKay designed and installed new equipment for the milling of barley.The cereal became popular, and MacKay's company shipped Cream of Barley throughout Canada and the British Empire.In 1904 the mill burned, and a new brick mill was built to continue manufacturing the cream of barley cereal.A campground and park, aptly named "The Cream of Barley Campground", was developed on land to the north of the millhouse. In about 1922 a petting zoo was added to the park. By 1928 the mill, camp and park (which now included tourist cabins) were owned James Morden and operated by Alfred Shrubb, formerly a world-renowned long distance runner. By 1946 the park included tennis courts.In the 1950s, with the business under Shrubb's ownership, Cream of Barley began to lose market share to the new cold breakfast cereals. The mill was sold, and over the years the Cream of Barley Mill tourist park and campground were absorbed into what is now the Bowmanville Zoo.In 1973 the Cream of Barley millhouse was purchased by the town of Bowmanville, and since that time has housed the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington, a not-for-profit artistic and cultural centre. The mill building has been designated by the municipality as an architecturally protected historical building under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Darlington Nuclear Generating Station
Darlington Nuclear Generating Station

Darlington Nuclear Generating Station is a Canadian nuclear power station located on the north shore of Lake Ontario in Clarington, Ontario. It is a large nuclear facility comprising four CANDU nuclear reactors with a total output of 3,512 MWe when all units are online, providing about 20 percent of Ontario's electricity needs, enough to serve a city of two million people. The reactor design is significantly more powerful than those used in previous CANDU sites at Pickering and Bruce, making its 4-unit plant the second-largest in Canada behind the 8-unit Bruce. It is named for the Township of Darlington, the name of the municipality in which it is located, which is now part of the amalgamated Municipality of Clarington. The plant began construction in September 1981 and planned to start initial operations in 1985. Several delays ensued, and the construction start on Units 3 and 4 was put off until 1984 and 1985. Unit 2 entered operation in 1990, followed by Unit 1 in 1992, and Units 3 and 4 in 1993. The delays and resulting cost overruns have made Darlington a primary case study for the anti-nuclear movement in Canada, and was one of the main reasons Ontario Hydro was broken up in 1999 and its debts paid off by special billings. After initial operations and shakeout, it is often among the most reliable plants in the world in terms of capacity factor. As of 2023, the plant is undergoing a mid-life upgrade, with two units completed and the second two expected to complete in 2026. Room for a second four-reactor unit had been in place since the original site selection, with a large area to the east of the current plant set aside for what was known as Darlington B. In 2006, Ontario Power Generation began the process of applying to build a two-unit plant on the B site. This project was cancelled in 2013 when the estimated cost was far beyond initial projections. In 2020 plans started to install a much smaller BWRX-300 small modular reactor install on the B site, which are ongoing as of 2023.
