Built in 1894 in the historic fishing village of Steveston, the
Gulf of Georgia Cannery was the largest building of its kind
(earning it the nickname, “The Monster Cannery”), and the
leading producer of canned salmon in British Columbia. It
stopped canning in the 1930s, but remained active as a net
loft, fish depot, and later as a herring reduction plant, until it
ceased operations in 1979. Today, the non-profit Gulf of
Georgia Cannery Society operates the national historic site
on behalf of Parks Canada...
