| Ethnic Adventures - Finn Slough - Steveston |
| Activity:
We don't actually know if this qualifies as a full fledged ethnic adventure
but how many areas in Vancouver do you know where there is a concentration
of Finnish people. We haven't gone to the Finn Slough yet, so if
you do go, let us know if there really are Fins living there.
As the story goes, this area on the south arm of the Fraser River was established in the 1880s by immigrant fishermen from Finland. It's still a working fishing village, with somewhere around 50 people living and working there in beach cabins and float houses. Details: To reach Finn Slough, follow the trail starting at the foot of No. 5 Road and head west through Finn Slough at No. 4 road and Dyke Road. For more information call (604) 271-5220. Also checkout nearby Britannia Heritage Shipyard - Steveston and London Heritage Farm - Steveston. Area: Steveston Season:
