virtual tour/steveston village
Once home to 15 canneries, Steveston has long been known for its commercial fishery. Although, home to Canada's largest fishing fleet of more than 600 vessels, it no longer plays host to a single cannery, the last succumbing to fewer fish and development pressures.
Today, Steveston Village is better known as a place to get away from the rat-race, for locals, Lower Mainlanders and travelers alike. On a sunny day, thousands flock to the village to sample our great restaurants and cafes—some on the waterfront or ON the water—or to just buy some fresh seafood directly from the fishers at the Public Fish Sales Float at Fisherman's Wharf. Walkabout the village and check out the great gift shops, garden center or hunt down a cherished antique. Steveston is also a great place to chill out with camera in hand, as photo opportunities present themselves at every turn.
Steveston, and the City of Richmond, also provide many opportunities for those living here to get involved in the community. Various groups and societies abound in Richmond. Interests from history to photography; from ethnic groups to International service organizations, they're all here.

virtual tour/london farm
In London Farm's garden you will see many types of flowers, but hidden amongst them are numerous insects, birds and dew drops. The photo of the London Farm dahlias, which are planted yearly by Bill London, have filled in the foreground beautifully.
Besides the flower garden, London Farm has many fruit trees, which attract many types of insects, as well as birds. Find birds eating berries atop the post, which clearly states, "Please do not pick or eat the berries." I only wish I had taken the picture.
