Scottish-born Ebenezer Birrell (1801-1888), with other local farmers, imported the cattle that became the progenitors of the Canadian shorthorn breed. A landscape painter, Birrell produced an award-winning oil on canvas of a pastoral scene – called Good Friends. Here, transposed as ghostly figures on a corner of his land in north Pickering, are some of Birrell’s good friends. Photo credit: Lisa Rance, October 2014
Not abandoned. The Canadian government annexed the Pickering “Airport Lands” in the 1970’s without having followed through with the development of a regional airport. It leaves the perimeter communities in limbo. Activist group Land over Landings seeks to restore these areas to agriculture, and to halt the destruction of heritage structures.
