Swansea is that green hilly area of Toronto bounded on the west by the Humber River, on the north by Bloor Street, on the east by High Park and on the south by Lake Ontario.
During the latter part of the 19th Century, the area we now know as Swansea was called Windermere because, to the many immigrants from the Britsh Isles, its hills, valleys, and seven ponds resembled the area of the Lake District which went by that name.
In 1926, Swansea had grown to such a size that it was able to successfully petition to become independent from the Township of York and was incorporated as a village with a population of 3255 persons and a superstructure of 908 buildings.

Ontario Agricultural Food Technologies, whose president is Mr Murray McLaughlin, is made up of grower associations, 12 in number, universities, five in number, and from industry, 11, and they recognize the importance of agricultural technology here in Ontario.
As we look around Ontario and see some farms disappearing and we see some reverting to habitat for wildlife, the media develops a crisis about vanishing farms, when in fact the high-yield agriculture that is going on is very environmentally friendly, very favourable to developing and maintaining our wildlife habitat.
Ontario supports these initiatives, and the best researchers are attracted to those areas which have a benevolent climate to these types of developments.
