Have you tried the “Cannery Experience” this summer?
Submitted by Ā D’Arcy, Heritage Interpreter
Back inĀ May, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery officially launched our new Summer Season offer. Not only did we increase the frequency of our guided tours, but we also added numerous new public programs in order to make each visit to the site more engaging, educational, and enjoyable for every guest that walks through our doors.
As part of our Cannery Experience,Ā we haveĀ characters in costumesĀ and at least two Canning Line machine demos a day where you can see us interpreters turn on some of our canning machines dating from the 1940ās and 50ās. Ā Three times a day you can take a tour of our Herring Reduction plant that was operational from the 1940ās until 1979, and every hour at :45 past, guests can take part in the Salmon Taste Challenge. Not only does this give visitors the chance to try out two different species of salmon, but it is also a great opportunity to learn about the many species of salmon that inhabit the BC Coast.
If you haven’t taken part in this experience yet, don’t worry, there’s still time! The Cannery Experience summer offerĀ ends on September 7th!
