Francis Millerd & Co.
Not starting this because it's not just one company, or one location; but this was the second-largest cannery firm in BC for a while; see BCGNIS listing "Millerd Creek". One of his sons was a William Millerd, who I think may have been Bill Millerd of the Vancouver entertainment industry; or the name is just a coincidence. I'm thinking of renaming this list List of cannery towns in British Columbia because of situations like this; Millerd's original cannery, though, was a floating cannery - no fixed address - Somerville & Co. - and tehre were a succession of places the firm owned canneries in; including West Vancouver and Redonda Bay. An interesting topic, if anyone would like a field of BC history to specialize in....the Norwegian legacy intrigues me (I'm half-Norwegian), partly because the cannery buildings I've seen pix of are clearly Norwegian-influenced; something you don't hear much about in multiculturalism studies; canneries are usually only taliked about re Asian/First Nations labour, and the Norwegian-immigrant linkage is usually subsumed into "European".Skookum1 (talk) 03:47, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
