Steveston’s Gulf of Georgia Cannery National
Historic Site is about to be invade by, “watery ghosts, sea monsters, and
twisted tentacles among the darkened aisles of the historical Herring Reduction
Plant,” according to Mimi Horita, marketing and visitor services manager for
the museum.
In addition to the spooky fun offered by
local actors in costume and the Blanche MacDonald Centre’s ghoulish make-up,
visitors can expect under-the-sea and Hallowe’en games, crafts, and activities.
All this ghoulish fun takes place on two days
only, Saturday and Sunday Oct. 27 and 28, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Cannery
Museum, 12138 Fourth Avenue at Moncton, Richmond.
For those who want to be a more frightened,
the cannery museum offers, according to Horita, “An extra-haunted experience
option for those who can bear to be scared!”
“This year’s ‘haunted sea’ theme takes on a
special meaning as most of the decorations and costumes will be crafted out of
salvaged materials including recycled plastics, saving waste from entering our
landfills and oceans,” Horita says.
So, mark your calendars if you look forward
to an imaginary dive to the darkest depths of The Haunted Sea at the Gulf of
Georgia Cannery National Historic Site on a journey into the deep made
wonderfully ghoulish by a host of characters.
All ages welcome. Children must bring an
adult with them. Costumes are optional and remember, recycled is best!
Hours: Open daily, year round from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Special Event Admission: Adults $11, Seniors
