Cool off in the Gulf of Georgia Cannery this summer. Youth 17 years old and under can enjoy this Parks Canada national historic site for free (kids 15 years and under must be accompanied by an adult). The Cannery offers unique and exciting opportunities to have fun while learning about Canada’s West Coast fishing industry.

If you’re based locally, you’ll be interested to discover why people came to Steveston in the first place and why the Fraser River is so important to our west coast communities. If you’re a visitor to Steveston, come and have fun in our historic site while learning more about this region. Make the most of your fin-tastic summer at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site. “Catch” you later!
