Highly recommend! It's a gem of a museum and historic site. I had no expectations as I didn't do any research on it. Was just in the area and wanted something to do. It is so immersive with the original machinery in place. Looks like they're in the middle of updating the exhibits. I appreciated the acknowledging of the racist past associated with the cannery, salmon fishing and BC's history in general, though I'm sure there's a lot more that can be said about it. We spent about an hour there. Highly recommend.
Beautiful day to be on the patio for brunch. It has a gorgeous view of the Toronto harbour. Great for people watching and to take a break from the Harbourfront crowds on a holiday. The food was decent as well, pretty good for a touristy location. Had the ricotta eggs which sounded strange but was actually pretty light. The acidity of the grape tomatoes really balanced out the creamy ricotta and other cheese. The signature Joe Bird sandwich was crispy and yummy. The Belgian waffles were heavy and loaded with berries and sugar walnuts. Food + atmosphere + view = A+.
