WELCOME TO… Fish Hall 75th Photo Contest!
The Ladner Fishermen’s Cooperative Association (LFCA) is pulling out all the stops in an effort to visually document our fishing heritage by mounting a photo contest that runs October 18th thru November 30th 2018. Please NOTE the closing date extension!
This photo contest serves two (2) purposes…
- Collect images that document the rich fishing heritage of Delta… from the earliest days to current day when the citizens of Delta plied the waters on the coast of British Columbia, more specifically, the salmon-rich waters of the Fraser River watershed.
- Visually illustrate the history of Ladner Fishermen’s Hall since 1943… Fish Hall became a reality when the former train station building was moved from the wharf at Port Guichon to its present location on 4481 Savoy Street in Ladner, BC.
