"More than a century ago, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery was one of the world’s leading producers of canned salmon; it later became a herring reduction plant. In 1994, exactly a century after it opened, the old wood building was converted into a museum dedicated to the history of the West Coast fishing industry. Now old salts, fishing enthusiasts, history buffs, and ocean-loving kids all flock at the official National Historic Site in the heart of Steveston, a quaint fishing village in southern Vancouver." - Jennifer Van Evra
