Thursday marks the final time cereal will roll off the production line at the Kellogg's plant in London, Ont.
The closure was announced in December 2013, when the company announced it would "optimize its global manufacturing network."
About 300 workers lost their jobs in September, leaving just over 150 to finish production at the plant.
Sally Hendricks, a 33-year employee, says like most still at the plant her mind is on the challenges facing friends and co-workers.
"You feel for the other employees that have got to go out there and look for other work, and their families. How are they going to - you know - let alone being Christmas time, paying the mortgage and the bills and all the stuff that comes with daily life."
A skeleton crew will remain at the facility to help fully shut down the plant by Dec. 23.
Dave Goddard, an electrician for Kellogg's says, "There'll still be some packing lines running. I'll be looking after the maintenance part of that. Next week we'll be doing clean-up and shutting things down. It's going to be a sad day."
The Kellogg's plant in London has been in operation since 1924 and for decades it has been tied to the working class identity of the city.
