COVID Precautions
At the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site, we remain vigilant in keeping our location healthy and safe for visitors and employees. With that in mind, we ask attendees to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of a communicable disease, (for example, fever and/or chills, recent onset of coughing, diarrhea), and where symptoms are present please remain at home. Do not hesitate to contact our Education Programs Coordinator if rescheduling is necessary.
Additional Notes
The program is 90 minutes, and we can accommodate 2 classes (30 students each) at one time.
