Celebrate Culture Days at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site!
New Cannery Tour Sneak Peek: Japanese Canadian Stories of the West Coast.
September 20, 26, 27, October 3 and 4.

This 45-minute tour will be offered exclusively during Culture Days 2026 and will introduce attendees to a selection of the stories we plan to include in the new 2027 Cannery self-guided and guided experiences.

This is the first of several upcoming projects aiming to connect the diverse perspectives of West Coast communities to the stories of BC’s West Coast fishing and canning industries. What missing, stories, experiences, or perspectives do you want the Cannery to share? After the tour, tell us how we can continue to support the voices of unheard communities past and present.

Pay what you may.

🎨✨ Bringing colour, nature, and life to the Cannery Classroom

We’re thrilled to showcase the original artwork created by two incredible artists for the Cannery’s Education Table Improvement Project. Their designs came to life during live painting outside Gulf of Georgia Cannery earlier this summer.

🌿 Julia Vasileva is a Vancouver-based children’s book illustrator and artist whose work often draws inspiration from nature and the world around her.

🐟 Sandra Fossella, an interdisciplinary artist and member of Musqueam First Nation, created a unique design inspired by Musqueam’s long fishing history and deep connection to salmon.

We’re privileged to share their beautiful work as we brighten the space and make it more welcoming for school programs. 💙🎨
