North Pacific Cannery
The oldest intact cannery in British Columbia, the North Pacific Cannery, established in 1889, is a National Historic Site and was an integral part of the province's economic and cultural history. Tour the expansive grounds and 29 structures, restored to their 19th-century condition, that make up this vast museum complex, which borders the legendary Skeena River. A 15-minute multimedia experience takes you virtually down 350 miles of the Skeena River. Then head into a 45-minute interactive tour of the cannery complex itself, complete with original machinery and fascinating guided narration through the many buildings of the sprawling facility. You'll have a chance to step into a variety of buildings that paint a portrait of this significant factory, in operation until 1980. Dress warmly and wear sturdy walking shoes.

What you will see along the way:
