The Murder, Mayhem and Morality in Old Steveston tour
It was not all parasols and delicate hoop skirts in the Steveston
of old.
It smelled. Bad. Men who’d been long at sea
came here to drink, and more. The lack of sobriety led to mayhem.
Starting the first Saturday in August and
running through September, the village’s colourful past comes to life every
Saturday in August and September at 1 and 3 p.m. on the guided one-hour
Steveston Stories walking tour.
According to Kim Decker, a communications
officer for the City of Richmond, “Visitors of all ages will enjoy the
Steveston Stories tour as they tread through time to discover the fascinating
people, events and places that shaped Steveston. Visitors who are 15 years or
older can peel back the genteel façade of modern Steveston to reveal a history
of drinking, gambling and murder on the Murder, Mayhem and Morality in Old
Steveston tour.”
These walking tours will take residents and
visitors around the village to the sites of dark deads, shady deals and immoral
acts. It’s a chance to discover the fascinating people, events and places that
shaped Steveston.
Tickets are $5 per tour. Children under 12
years old are free when accompanied by a paying adult (maximum two children per
adult). Book in advance, as spaces are limited. Purchase tickets at the Tourism
Richmond Visitor Centre at the Steveston Museum (3811 Moncton Street) or by
calling the Visitor Centre at 604-271-8280. For more information about the
