Steveston: A Community History

We are very proud to announce the release of our new book "Steveston: A Community History" which was researched and written on our behalf by local historian and long-time City of Richmond Councillor Bill McNulty. It is a detailed account of the birth and development of Steveston from the mid-1800s to present day. Copies are available to purchase from the Steveston Community Centre for a suggested donation of $20, with half the proceeds being forwarded to the Japan Relief Fund for Onagawa. To purchase your copy by mail order, please email us or phone 604-238-8094.
