Finn Slough Heritage Area

I and a few of my bicycling friends from our hiking club biked to Finn Slough via Steveston. I got the chance to get another photograph from the community and share with my friends in early November. "Key elements that define the heritage character of Finn Slough include: -The linear layout of the boardwalk and the orientation of the structures in two rows on either side, connected by wooden bridges · The orientation of the community as a whole to the Fraser River and its ability to be accessed by water · The structures at Finn Slough are utilitarian in nature and demonstrate aesthetic quality through a consistent massing and scale of buildings, their clustering along the slough and along a central corridor, and through a rhythm of rooflines, dock structures, boats, boardwalk and hydro poles · A consistency in building materials, mostly wood, and in the muted natural colours of the buildings and the landscape · Small-scale elements such as pilings, wharves, docks, boats, railings, fences and planted gardens · The presence of the natural environment in vegetation and water." - City of Richmond
