In the summer, visitors flock to #Steveston to enjoy sunny days by the water but in the dead of winter, there is a stillness that’s inviting to us locals even on the coldest of nights. #steveston #thevillagelife #IdeaRC #visualstory #latergram #benches #pier (at Steveston Village)

Where the mouth of the south arm of the Fraser River meets the Salish Sea has always been a gathering place from the time when First Nations groups made their summer villages here. Today #Steveston is still the place where people gather. #steveston #thevillagelife #IdeaRC #visualstory #latergram #meetingplace #bakery (at Steveston Village)

Today only a portion of the tracks and a couple of electrical poles remain as historical markers of #tram operations. They are at the centre of #Steveston Village at No. 1 and Moncton close to where the original Steveston station was located. #thevillagelife #IdeaRC #visualstory #latergram #trains (at Steveston Village)

The #Tram line between #Steveston and Marpole was the last portion of the line to run and it ceased operations in February1958. Competition from the automobile and passenger buses plus trucks that moved freight sealed the fate of the aging interurban fleet. #thevillagelife #IdeaRC #visualstory #latergram #trains (at Steveston Village)

A statue dedicated to the Japanese fishermen who contributed to the industry was erected in 2002 on the 125th anniversary of their arrival to Canada. #steveston #thevillagelife #IdeaRC #visualstory #fishing #latergram (at Britannia Heritage Shipyard)

Decorative fish along a fence outside the former Steveston Canning Company are another nod to the village’s history. At the height of the fishing industry there were more than 45 canneries in BC and more than a few were located right here in Steveston. #steveston #thevillagelife #IdeaRC #visualstory #fishing #latergram (at Steveston Canning Company)
