- File consists of scrapbook contents including newspaper articles and clippings from the Fraser Valley Milk Producers Association (FVMPA) newsletter "Fraser Valley Milk Break". The scrapbook documents and chronologizes the history of the association and the planning, construction and implementation of the Fraser Valley Milk Producers Association plant on Lougheed Highway in Burnaby. The dairy plant covered five acres of property in Burnaby situated at Lougheed Highway and Sperling. The FVMPA was a 2200 member dairy co operative consisting of dairy men all in the Fraser Valley and claims that it was the first in Canada to add Vitamin D to fluid milk and to use the vacuum packed tin for evaporated milk. The FVMPA was originally located at 425 W. 8th Avenue in Vancouver prior to the construction of the new plant on Lougheed Highway in Burnaby which opened in 1964.
