The Last Cannery Standing greatcanadianlongform Business August 18, 2018August 18, 2018 1 Minute “From the outside, St. Jean’s looks nothing like the canneries of old. Boats, for instance, are absent. Located about a kilometer from tidewater in an industrial part of the southern Vancouver Island city of Nanaimo, it has truck bays instead of wharves for receiving fish. The signage is minimal, but there’s no missing the three-meter-tall can of salmon in front of the cluster of low, metal-clad buildings. I enter the yard and ask a man wearing blue coveralls, a ball cap, and scuffed steel-toed boots where I might find Steve Hughes, the company president. He flashes a grin and points to the can. Sure enough, there’s a door on the far side.” Frances Backhouse – Hakai Magazine – August 2018 AdvertisementShare this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...
