Our Trips

Cannery REcollections

Objects help us to tell the stories of people, places, and moments in time that make up how we understand our communities.

Cannery Quest Jr. (Formerly Sea to Me)

In this engaging  hands-on program, discover the steps to canning salmon through story-time and puzzles. A scavenger hunt along the canning line helps students work cooperatively to follow the process of canned salmon from the ocean to their dinner plate. 

Discovery Tour

Customize your experience with our Discovery Tour!

The Discovery Tour is adaptable for your youth education group, and is designed to be modified for groups with a variety of ages (e.g. homeschool groups) or a group for which there is no existing Education Program (e.g. high school classes).

Choose from a set of modules to design the perfect outing for your class.

Salmon People // Peuple du saumon

Understand the role of salmon as a Cultural Keystone Species for Indigenous Peoples on the West Coast of Canada in Salmon People!

Salmon is, and always has been, central to the lives, economies, and cultures of many Indigenous Peoples of the West Coast. Understanding this significance is central to understanding the worldviews of the Peoples who have lived here since time immemorial.

Engage with replica fishing tools, explore fish species, and learn about past and present Indigenous fishing methods through storytelling and a variety of Indigenous-created resources.

Cannery Quest

Learn what it was like to work at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery. In this interactive and fun exploration, participants will take a tour of the facilities, watch a film, visit our fish wall, and play an interactive game. This 90-minute program will introduce the people, jobs, and machinery of the cannery.
