We are proud to see a Richmond local featured in the latest issue of the Richmond News – In the Community showcasing the Gulf of Georgia Cannery’s 130 years of history in miniature via a 1:1200 scale model built entirely out of LEGO.

The Gulf of Georgia Cannery’s LEGO model, built by Richmond LEGO enthusiast Peter Grant, is an expertly crafted miniature that captures the vastness of this historic building over its multiple decades in a creative and captivating medium which took a year to build. Using over 55,000 individual LEGO pieces, visitors will experience the site’s operations as a salmon canning line, fresh fish depot, and herring reduction facility, in addition to elements of its current life as a Parks Canada National Historic Site. 

We are honoured and delighted to have Peter’s whimsical recreation of the Gulf of Georgia Cannery built into the timeless world of Lego. Come check out LEGO Man Peter Grant’s newest creation on view until May 2025.
