Few years ago we spent a nice Saturday checking out some of the sights in Richmond with our visitors. Our first stop was Finn Slough in South Richmong, which is a former 1890s fishing village that was founded by some Finnish settlers.



















International Buddhist Society is another nice stop along Steveston Highway and free to visit. The temple grounds are surprisingly large and include several buildings.













Britannia Shipyards started its life as a busy cannery but was later converted to a shipyard following the Hell's Gate landslide in 1912.













Gulf of Georgia Cannery was a massive salmon cannery in the early 1900s. Produce from there was shipped to all of British Imperium and even the Allied troops fighting in the Second World War. Today the building is an excellent national museum and definitely worth a visit!











Steveston fish market takes place on Saturdays and is always worth a visit.











Not really suburban Vancouver but the next day we drove up Fraser Canyon to enjoy its beautiful scenery.









Hell's Gate is the location of massive landslide 1912 that caused the collapse of salmon run on Fraser River before construction of a fish ladder.
