Steveston

Steveston, now an active as well as a historic fishing village sits at the southwest corner of Richmond and is one of the oldest settlements and commercial areas for canneries in the Province.  Both Gulf of Georgia Cannery Museum and Britannia Shipyard are National Historical sites and they celebrate the Steveston's fishing past.

Between the village, its docks and the actual southwest tip of land is a delightful windswept Garry Point Park.  The breeze off the Strait of Georgia is constant.  The terrain is flat and sandy with lots of wildflowers, marsh, grasses but most of all, the terrific sweeping views looking out twoards the water.

This park is connected to the extensive trails system that go north to the Middle Arm of the Fraser and back east along the South Arm.
