Steveston, British Columbia
The settlement of Steveston, founded in the 1880s,[1] is a neighbourhood of Richmond in Metro Vancouver. On the southwest tip of Lulu Island, the village is a historic port and salmon canning centre at the mouth of the South Arm of the Fraser River. The early 1900s style architecture attracts both the film and tourism industries.
Steveston Salmon Festival[edit]
On Canada Day, the community hosts the Steveston Salmon Festival, which has been held annually since 1946.[21] This event includes a parade, and a huge barbecued salmon sale beside the Steveston Community Centre. Municipal, provincial and federal politicians often attend, usually as part of the parade and/or to hand out Canadian flags.
