Starting in Richmond ride along the miles of dykes, viewing turtles sunning themselves in the ditch running alongside the dyke, the Hereford cattle grazing by the dyke and the information marker for the old Fort Steveston army base then onto Steveston to visit the Gulf of Georgia Cannery Museum and other historic sites.

Since its construction in 1894, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery has been a landmark for fishermen. This historic site commemorates Canada's West Coast fishing industry. It has been used as a cannery, reduction plant, and net loft.

The Gulf of Georgia Cannery is a complex of buildings constructed between 1894 and 1964 in response to changing technology and the needs of the industry. They include the main cannery building, icehouse, vitamin oil shed, drum storage shed, watchman's house and lead foundry. The structures are of wood frame and heavy timber construction and are supported, for the most part, by wooden pilings. The built area is 4,673 square metres.
