Gulf of Georgia
National Historic Site
At the fishing community of Steveston,
just 30 kilometres south of Vancouver
on the coast of British Columbia,
you can experience cannery life of
the early twentieth century. Take
a look at a turn of the century fishing
skiff, or imagine a 12 hour fish-gutting
shift at the Ësliming tableÓ in 1930.
Restored Gulf of Georgia cannery buildings,
built between 1894 and 1964, include
the main cannery, icehouse, vitamin
oil shed, drum storage shed, watchmanÁs
house and lead foundry. Visit for
visitor information and a virtual
tour.

Culturally
Modified Trees: A Living Museum
To the unpracticed eye, scarred patches
on the bark of red and yellow cedar
trees in Green Inlet may appear insignificant.
But to anthropologists and archaeologists
trained in the interpretation of Culturally
Modified Trees, they are dramatic
living evidence of early First Nations
habitation.
