Parks Canada invites BC Historical Federation members to participate in the development of the next management plan for the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site.

 A Parks Canada management plan guides management decisions and actions to protect, present and operate the site for the next ten years and serves as a key accountability document to the public.

The management plan will also guide the work Parks Canada and the Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society will accomplish together to ensure Canadians and international visitors experience and learn about heritage places and the stories of Canada’s West Coast fishing history.

Management plans are developed in consultation with Indigenous communities, as well as various partners and stakeholders, and the public. You are invited to join a virtual consultation session to provide feedback on the proposed vision and key strategies for the national historic site’s draft management plan.

The sessions are as follows:

Please indicate if you require any accommodations or assistance to access and equitably participate in these conversations about the future of the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site.

In addition to group feedback sessions, there are other ways to participate. Public consultation will take place from March 19 to April 19, 2024, and you are welcome to join the conversation using features on the online platform, by requesting a consultation package by e-mail or mail, or by contacting Kate Humble directly to schedule a session for your organization: meghankate.humble@pc.g.ca or by phone at: 250-661-3781.
