Steveston Village

in Canada, Photo Friday, Travel

Historic Steveston, British Columbia, January 2009

Steveston Village was once the busiest fishing port in the world! Fifteen salmon canneries stood here for years while Native Canadians, Japanese, Chinese, Europeans and sailors from all over the world mixed on its streets. Now it is a relaxed little escape from the “big city” of Vancouver while still functioning as a fishing town. We spent the morning wandering around Steveston, walking along a boardwalk, watching the seagulls and drinking coffee.

This photo is part of Photo Friday, featuring travel photos. See more here! I’m a little late posting today since I spent the whole day out. My evening was spent at Richmond Center Mall, where I felt as though I had not ever left China! ;) Richmond has a major Chinese community here!
