The Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site’s new feature exhibit, Women on the Homefront: Women’s contributions during World War II, opened last Saturday April 9, with an opening reception attended by society members and invited guests. After a few speeches, including those by exhibit curator Shannon King and Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap, guests were treated to live 1940’s music and refreshments prepared by society volunteers — the recipes were taken straight from the Edith Adams cookbook, and reflected the foods that may have been common during the war years (including SPAM sandwiches!).
