Judith Williams-This is the story of... 1 of 3

For those without high-speed internet: this is 5 minutes of the 16 minute video “this is the story of. . .” records the mechanical destruction of the book Salmon Our Heritage at the Goose Bay Cannery in Goose Bay, Rivers Inlet in July 2001. Once part of a string of salmon processing plants from Steveston to Alaska, the Goose Bay Cannery was built in 1926. Now redundant, its canning equipment is dispersed between the North Pacific Cannery Village Museum at Port Edward just south of Fort Rupert and the Gulf of Georgia Cannery Museum in Steveston.
The video is part of an online show at the Islands Institute, curated by Phyllis Reeve.
