Join us as we celebrate the diverse cultures that came together to develop the commercial fishing industry on the West Coast! This free, family-friendly event, welcomes all to enjoy in the sights, sounds and tastes of Indigenous, Japanese, Chinese, and European traditions. Visitors can enjoy cultural performances on indoor and outdoor stages throughout the day, take part in workshops, activities and demonstrations of traditional crafts and games, participate in a community art installation, be led through the past on a guided tour of the historic cannery and try culinary treats from a variety of vendors! A unique opportunity to connect and create dialog and understanding between neighbours of different histories and traditions, The Pull of the Net aims to leave visitors with open hearts and minds, and a better understanding of what we can achieve as a unified community.
