Village of Finn Slough - Richmond - a photo on Flickriver

            Richmond, BC Canada

Finn Slough Heritage & Wetland Society was formed in September 1993 to preserve the natural environment and habitat at the Slough and surrounding area. The group also aims to maintain the heritage values of the community and to protect the Slough from urban encroachment. Finn Slough is one of the last tidal communities on the West Coast. They are working to live in harmony with the environment on a sleepy little backwater on the mighty Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. 

Originally established in the 1880’s by immigrant fishers from Finland, Finn Slough has been a fishing village for over a hundred years.  Families have continually occupied Finn Slough since then.  The community swelled to 70 households in the 1940’s and 1950’s but by the 1970’s the original settlers were dispersing. Non Finnish fishers and people who appreciated the Slough’s unspoiled historic setting began to take their place. 

The Finns eventually stopped living at the waters edge and moved to more permanent homes within a few miles of the Slough. Today Finn Slough holds special status as it is the last working commercial fishing village on the Fraser River. Approximately 50 people live and work at the Slough with 18 households remaining. Here you will see gill-net fish-boats, net-mending floats, and sheds belonging to fifth generation fishers.
