to 1914 when SickKids commenced operations of its historic pasteurization laboratory to supply poverty-stricken families and their babies across Toronto with certified bacteria-free milk. The first of its kind in Toronto, the laboratory allowed the Milk Modification Department to successfully pasteurize up to 200 gallons of milk per day. This supply was incorporated into the meals of the hospital’s inpatients and outpatients, becoming an important staple in their daily diets. The plant eventually was responsible for helping the general population of Toronto, acting as a milk delivery service for the various infant and settlement houses throughout the city.
