🚣‍♂️ Finnlandia 🎣🌞 ~ Richmond, BC

Lulu Island's historic hidden treasure. Frozen in time, this quiet little community of Finn Slough dates back to the year 1900 when a group of Finnish newcomers moved here from their settlement just up the road at 4 & Finn Road. It was easy access to salmon fishing on the Fraser River. The homes here are built on stilts because the river's tide flows in and out. People still live here including the descendants of the original settlers. If you decide to visit, please be respectful of their privacy and obey all posted signs.

That's a crude summary of Finn Slough. There's a lot more to learn about the wild ongoing history, visit www.FinnSlough.com

To learn even more, read the amazing essay written by Robyn Hanson (@BCRobyn on Instagram) and posted on her website here www.bcrobyn.com/2021/02/the-uncertain-future-of-finn-slough

Unfortunately, Finn Slough is not registered as a National Historic Site of Canada. In fact, it's not even recognized provincially or locally. It’s caught in the middle of many controversies including being on an intertidal area. #SaveFinnSlough
