North Pacific Cannery National Historic Site, Salmon cannery museum in Port Edward, Canada

Located at the mouth of the Skeena River, this industrial site features 25 buildings including a canning loft and multiple worker accommodations.

The cannery opened in 1889 when three entrepreneurs purchased 183 acres of land for $32, operating continuously until its closure in 1981.

The facility contains separate housing structures for European, Japanese, and First Nations workers, reflecting the diverse workforce of British Columbia's fishing industry.

The site remains closed for renovations until May 1st, 2025, with updates available through their social media channels and official website.

The original mess house now serves as a café where visitors can experience food inspired by the cannery's multicultural heritage.
