A 19th-century frontier seaport is reborn more than 100 years later into a picturesque working fishing village.
We went to Steveston Fishing Village for dinner at Pajo’s Fish and Chips, after a great time at Terra Nova Park playground In Richmond. Both are a great place to walk about. The Cannery Museum is an historically significant site, once one of the many salmon canneries on the BC Coast. Park on the north side of the Cannery Museum. You can’t park near Pajo’s as that is for folks who live nearby on their fish boats. In Fall there are the great pumpkin gardens and corn mazes to run in just East of highway 99 intersection with Steveston Highway.

Built in 1894 in the historic fishing village of Steveston, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site is one of B.C.'s few historically intact canneries. The Parks Canada site commemorates the history and the contributions of the diverse communities and cultures of Canada's west coast fishing industry. Enjoy exhibits, films, programs and events at the historic cannery. Take some to explore the scenic village of Steveston's many heritage sites, shops, and restaurants during your visit.
This museum is fascinating and really well presented. Part of the Cannary is still operational (the only full time cannery now in BC). We took the guided tour and, being the only 2 on the tour that day, we were given a great insight to the history of the cannery and that of Steveston. Good gift shop. A very good experience

Britannia Shipyards is an authentic representation of a once thriving community of canneries, boat yards, residences and stores. City of Richmond staff and dedicated volunteers work together to preserve and restore the shipyard and surrounding buildings as an active wooden boat centre and waterfront park. Tour the oldest shipyard buildings in British Columbia, and observe ongoing boat restoration projects as you experience a bygone time when fishing and boatbuilding were flourishing industries on the Fraser River. Many of the buildings date back to 1885 and tell the stories of multi-ethnic residents and workers at the Britannia Cannery and Britannia Shipyards: Chinese, European, First Nations and Japanese. This collection of buildings has national value and was designated a National Historic Site in 1992 by the National Historic Sites and Monuments Board.
Was doing some adventuring in area and popped into this free exploration. Several buildings to examine from outside and read about the history. It is only open on Thursday- Saturday so we were restricted to outside and looking through windows. Still a very nice walk -30 minutes to take it in. Park in immediate vicinity so it is a worthwhile drive to spend a couple hours.

The International Buddhist Temple is one of the largest Buddhist temples in North America, housing the largest Buddhist statue on the continent and the largest Buddhist mural in the world.
Simply peaceful, informative, full of beauty and nature. I enjoyed my tour of the Buddhist temple in Vancouver. It was free to enter, just leave a slight donation. Once you walk in, think positive thoughts, pray, become uplifted with spirituality and beauty.

Garry Point Park is an ideal vantage point to watch Fraser River/Gulf of Georgia traffic. It's a spacious park to catch changing light, and with a bit of patience, perfect for photography.

If you love to shop, CF Richmond Centre is the place to be. With over 200 stores and services, Richmond Centre is one of the Lower Mainland's best shopping experiences!
In the heart of downtown Richmond, the mall offers a very good selection of retail stores and services. The food court upstairs always has a good selection of food places and there is always ample seating available. As well there are several formal sit down restaurants on the property. If you are parking, there are 3 main areas that will give you easy access to the mall. As well, Hudson Bay is attached to the north entrance with parking also.It is one of the best shopping centres in the lower mainland and there is the Canada Line station across the street for easy transit use.

Imagine grabbing the best deals and latest trends while strolling through a quaint European shopping village with tree lined shops, a dancing fountain, adventure play area and more. McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport, is the first of it's kind to open in the Vancouver area, and brings you just that. You'll enjoy shopping at it's finest with world renowned designer brands, a myriad of dining options and entertainment for everyone. It's the must see destination you won't find anywhere else.
Very convenient and the easiest Outlet to go straight from the airport! It's free (choose Sea Island Only) at the Sky Train station, and it's only 2 stops away. Easy walk from the station and you can literally see if from the platform. Lockers available for big luggage free of charge and do not need coins - Mine was a 26-inches and fits nicely. Take the orange key with you after you've locked your suitcase. Easy to navigate and very friendly staff - I went to Calvin Klein, Polo Ralph and Tumi. All of their teams are super helpful and friendly, and the prices and selection are great! Highly recommended!!!
