Steveston through a different lens

For most locals, Steveston is just a beloved village we call home. It has wonderful nooks and crannies and many well-preserved historical sites.

But lets imagine our familiar village through a different lens.

What would the neighbourhood look like when captured on canvas by an impressionist painter?

Have a look at these images and tell me what you think... It was a purely fun what-if project that I hope would bring a smile to your face.

Prickly Pear brings spring fever to Steveston

When summer seems far away and you need a quick pick-me-up, why not saunter into a local favourite nursery - the Prickly Pear. 

Multicoloured flowers burst out of their pots, arranged in delightful rows and seem to promise that life is about to get better... soon.

Even for those with purple thumbs, like me, this alone makes living here so special. And, bonus, there is even ample free parking for the store patrons. 

Yup, beautiful flowers are always in season at the Prickly Pear.

And, psssst, you may even catch sight of the resident black cat, throwing you a contemptuous glance as it threads its way among planters, boxes, and all things that make up a beautiful garden.

 Wishing you a Happy 2025 New Year

Take a moment from all the festivities to reflect on the beauty of Steveston and how fortunate we are to be a part of this historic fishing village.

May we continue to be blessed with community spirit, peace, contentment, and an overabundance of great restaurants, gelato shops, cafes, nail spas, hair salons, and pizzerias!

Life is good here!
