Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site
The Cannery's Museum Interior

The Gulf of Georgia Cannery is a National Historic Site of Canada located in Steveston village in Richmond, British Columbia.[1]

Built in 1894, the cannery echoes the days when it was the leading producer of canned salmon in British Columbia.[2] Today it is a museum with interactive exhibits, film, and tours that demonstrate the Cannery's important role in the history of Canada's West Coast fishing industry. The Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society, a non-profit community organization, operates the site on behalf of Parks Canada.
