"I now appeal to the farmers who have not expressed their intention of joining us if you will stand together with us and support the only creamery of the town that can ever consolidate our interest, the waste of money that must result from division and opposition must cease." [Chilliwack Progress, May 28, 1902]
The new creamery established connections for marketing and had strong support from the farmers on Prairie Central, Chilliwack Central, the entire district adjacent to Camp and Hope Slough and a large majority of Sumas.
In February 5, 1908, the Chilliwack Creamery Co. Ltd. held a special meeting at the courthouse. The meeting considered enlarging the present site or building a new Creamery at a new location. When the first creamery was built the plan was made so additions could be made to handle growth for the next twenty years. "The building had been made up-to-date at the time with a proper septic tank system as advised by leading dairy companies in Ontario." The drainage system had been a total nuisance and the only way to solve the problem would be to dig a drainage canal to the Semiault Creek, an expensive and time-consuming job. Therefore, the best solution was to rebuild to a new site. Three sites were suggested at the meeting: "one was upon the Hope Slough north of the town, another, was upon the Hope Slough above the Little Mountain, and the third was at the Young Road where it joined the Semiault Creek." The last suggested site was chosen because it was outside the corporation limits, had access to gravel and sand, if they decided to build the new building of cement, and drainage was better at the Semiault then at the Hope Slough that was subject to spring freshets.
The second Chilliwack Creamery building was constructed about one mile south of the original building near Semiault Creek on a one and a quarter acre purchased from J. McCutcheon for $500.00. The contract had been given to R. H. Brock for the completion of the building measuring 78' x 38' with a couple of wings on each end, one for a storeroom and the other for boiler and engine, at a cost of $4890.00. The building had 5 ½ feet of concrete cement wall and cement floor. The remainder of the frame was completed with timber. In addition to the creamery, a cottage was built on the site for the manager and his family. At the time of construction, it was suggested to build a cold storage but this was not done until August, 1914 when an ice making plant was installed for $6000.00. With the ice plant installed, the creamery could supply local vendors with ice cream. In the Chilliwack Progress, August 14, 1912, the ice cream was advertised "from the very onset the ice cream made at the creamery was pronounced tip top, the freezing being just right and flavoring perfect to a cultivated taste."
Two years later, due to increased demand, the Chilliwack Creamery Association decided to deliver cream, milk and ice daily throughout the city. It was a perfect solution especially for the housewife who only had to make known her wants and get anything including any quantity of ice, hard frozen and clear.
In March 1918, the Fraser Valley Milk Producers' Association absorbed the Chilliwack Creamery Association. In this voluntary liquidation of the CCA., a trade was made to the producing shareholders of the CCA whereby they would take stock in the FVMPA of the equivalent value. However, any non-producing members of the CCA were paid out in cash and it was ratified that only producers could, in the future, become members of the FMPMA At the time of liquidation, the FMPMA had leased the CCA premises for the last year and held an option to purchase the founding body.
The second creamery was converted into a slaughterhouse, possibly known as the Chilliwack Meat Factory, and this business became the subject of a complaint to municipal council in 1941. Local residents petitioned the council and claimed that the building was a nuisance and a menace to public health. Dr. Robert McCaffrey, the Medical Health Officer, concurred with the petitioners and recommended that the building be closed. Both Mr. R. H. Bohart, the property owner and Mr. S. Dyson presented arguments, through their lawyer Mr. Sturdy, that their facility had been authorized and approved for use as a slaughterhouse. Mr. Bohart had spent a considerable amount of money in reconstructing the creamery as a slaughterhouse, however, it was admitted by their representative that the building did not comply with the regulations that governed the distance of slaughterhouses from roadways and residential properties. The property owners were granted three weeks in which to relocate their slaughterhouse business.
