Gulf of Georgia Cannery says Boo!

Steveston’s National Historic Site, the
Cannery Museum, normally offers a welcoming environment out of the elements,
cool in the summer, warm and cozy in the rain.
But, for the last weekend of October, brace
yourself if you dare enter the Herring Reduction Plant at the cannery.
For two days only, ghoulish cannery “workers”
plan to haunt the set-up in the reduction plant from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
With a trick or treat theme, children will be
able to earn treats by playing tricks.
The Gulf of Georgia Cannery charges no
admission this year because all national historic sites and parks are free for
Canada 150+.
For the spooky fun, a donation to support the
costs would be most welcome. The museum is operated by our local, non-profit
Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society.
All the spooky special effects are courtesy
the Vancouver Film School. The ghosts’ and ghouls’ make-up is courtesy the
Blanche MacDonald Centre, one of the lower mainland’s premiere make-up schools.
The rest of the cannery will be open as
usual. If anyone scares too easily, you can safely avoid the haunted reduction
plant.
This is a good preparation for the little
kids’ Halloween trick-or-treat in Steveston Village from 3 to 5 p.m. on Oct.
31— a safe way for little ones to wander about in costumes, see the village
decorated, and collect far more candy than any one child can eat. (This means they might have to share with
their parents.)
You can find the cannery museum at 12138
Fourth Avenue at Moncton, Richmond (Steveston Village). It is open daily, year
round from 10 a.m.to 5p.m.
