This is former site of the Brunswick Cannery, shut down by the end of World War II. The United Church of Canada maintained a summer hospital here, last in operation in 1950 (1957 advice from Fisheries and Hospital Insurance Board, respectively). This is a meeting place for fishermen, and some store their nets here (1961 advice from Hydrographic Service). "Only a few ruined piles remain at this former cannery site..." (BC Pilot, Vol 2, 1970).
