Steveston: A Community History

researched and written on our behalf by local historian and long-time City of Richmond Councillor Bill McNulty and published in May 2011. 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.
