Rebecca Clarke, Executive Director
604.664.9192
Rebecca brings a passion for industrial history and public engagement to her work at the Cannery. With experience at the Port Moody Station Museum and the Museum of Vancouver, Rebecca has surrounded herself with history in every way: from collecting artifacts, to teaching pre-schoolers to co-editing a history book. She is pleased to be part of the Steveston community and share the heritage of the BC fishing industry with the public.
Rob Hart, Marketing Coordinator
604.664.9134
Raised in Richmond, and a graduate of Steveston High, Rob left the area to work in heritage tourism and transportation with BC Rail. He was pleased and surprised to return to work in Steveston at a world-class site like the Gulf of Georgia Cannery. Rob has a B.A. in Asian Studies and handles marketing, membership, and administrative functions for the Society.
Heidi Rampfl, Collections Manager
604.664.9007
As a lifelong lover of all things historic (as well as a bit of a packrat), Heidi has found her ideal job working with the artifact and archival collections here at the Cannery. She believes that you can never know too much about the collection and is always ready to roll up her sleeves and do a little research. If you’ve got a question or have something new to add to our collection, she’s the one to talk to.
Annika Penner, Assistant Visitor Services Coordinator
604.664.9009
A product of the UBC Arts Co-op Program, Annika is the one to ask for scheduling details, bookings coordination and gift wrapping. She works with Una to coordinate the frontline staff and volunteers and is most frequently found running around the Cannery. Her diverse museum experience in the Canadian Rockies and on the Normandy beaches have led her realize that her idea of office life is a little off the beaten path.

Una MacPherson, Visitor Services Coordinator
604.664.9009
It seems Una was destined to work at the Cannery; she was born into a local fishing family and grew up on the Steveston waterfront. Una manages the Cannery Store and coordinates group bookings, frontline staff, and volunteers. The highlight of Una’s job is helping visitors learn about the Cannery and Steveston village.
Karen Lee, Public Programs Manager
604.664.9282
Karen has a passion for social history and cultural theory. At the Cannery, Karen manages exhibit development, special events, public programs, and educational programs. An unabashed tech geek, she also oversees the Society’s website and social media. Karen is a certified teacher with an M.A. in Museum Studies.
Christina Froschauer, Program & Events Coordinator
604.664.9261
With a background in fine arts, art history, anthropology and archaeology, Christina’s duties include: creative and educational programming, research, exhibit installation, and event facilitation. She is the Cannery’s primary blogger and the staff liaison for the Steveston Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market. She is always interested to see how accurately salmon can label designs reflect their social and historical context (once an art history geek, always an art history geek).
Kim Anderson, Maintenance Officer
A former fisherman, Kim has extensive experience working in engine rooms. Kim has an uncanny ability to construct exhibits, repair virtually any part of the Cannery building, and manoeuvre a forklift.
Favourite part to my job: working with all the great people on staff.
Personal motto: I would rather just go build something!
