Scotch Pond is a rectangular, man-made body of water located in Garry Point Park and was originally a tidal inlet. The site has a rich history: it was a settlement of the Musqueam until the late 1890s. Subsequently, it was the site of a fish cannery with buildings built on stilts. Japanese boat builders operated here from 1905 until they were expelled by internment in the 1940s. Starting in 1925, the Canadian Fishing Company used the site as a fishing station and had the slough dredged in the 1950s to create a harbor for its fleet. Today, the site is preserved and maintained by the Scotch Pond Heritage Cooperative Association as a traditional mooring for fishing boats. (Visit May 31, 2025)
