Gulf of Georgia Cannery Historic Site
One of the few remaining salmon canneries currently standing in British Columbia from the 1800's, this national historic site is home to a museum located on the banks of the Fraser River in the fishing village of Steveston, located in the community of Richmond, British Columbia.
The cannery was the second longest running cannery along the Fraser River (1894-1979), after the Imperial Cannery. Built and restored between 1894 and 1964, the cannery was closed in 1979, bought by the Federal Government five years later and is now owned by Parks Canada. Currently operated by the Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society, the cannery was registered as a national heritage site in 1976.
A landmark for fishermen, the cannery is currently a series of wooden and heavy timber structures comprised of the main cannery building, the icehouse, and the vitamin oil shed. The museum also features an artifact display of approximately 10,000 objects related to the industry and cannery machinery dating back from the 1900's.
Guided tours, a short film and a 50-seat Boiler House Theatre that displays four huge boilers for steam power used in production are some of the daily attractions. Visitors have been learning about the west coast fishing industry and the important role that women and immigrants played in the canneries' development since the site was opened to the public in 1994.

Fort Langley National Historic Site
The Fort Langley National Historic Site is the original settlement of an influential Hudson’s Bay Company trading post, established over 150 years ago. Originally trading fur, produce, salmon and cranberries with local First Nations, it fast became a major point of foreign trade due to its strategic location on the Fraser River. Fort Langley also played a significant part in shaping Canadian history. In the face of American competition, it was here that British Columbia was declared a Crown Colony by the first Governor of British Columbia, James Douglas, in 1858.
In 1886, as a result of strong local competition, Fort Langley ceased operation as a Hudson’s Bay Company post. Resurrected as a National Historic Site in 1923, the present-day reconstruction of Fort Langley offers visitors a fascinating insight into its past. Detailed reconstructions and original buildings, costumed interpreters, interactive displays, demonstrations and stories eagerly and accurately bring Fort Langley back to life.
Open year round, The Fort Langley National Historic Site is wheelchair accessible and features a Visitor Orientation Centre, gift shop, picnic areas, washrooms and free parking.
