Steveston’s historic Gulf of Georgia Cannery is re-opening to the public today.
The cannery, which closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. WorkSafeBC protocols are in place, including the development of a specialized safety plan.
The museum and gift shop will have limited capacity to ensure safe physical distancing. Staff will advise each guest if there is enough space inside to enter immediately or if there will be a wait time.
During the first phase of re-opening, in-person programming including guided tours and special events will not be offered. The cannery’s theatre will show its film at limited capacity upon request.
Plexiglass shields have been installed at the front desk area, and there are hand sanitizing stations available for the public. Washrooms are open in a limited capacity for visitors and customers only.
One-way walkways are being implemented, and points of entry are being controlled.
