Gulf of Georgia Cannery, Industrial heritage museum in Steveston, Canada.

The Gulf of Georgia Cannery occupies a wooden structure along the Fraser River, featuring industrial machinery and fishing equipment from different periods.

Built in 1894, this facility processed over 2.5 million cans of salmon during its peak season in 1897, employing hundreds of workers.

The cannery exhibits demonstrate the contributions of First Nations, Chinese, Japanese, and European workers who shaped British Columbia's fishing industry.

The museum remains open daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with adult admission at $13.25 and free entry for visitors under 18 years old.

During World War II, the facility switched production from salmon to herring, providing essential protein supplies for military operations.
