The Delta Fishing Heritage Society is looking to build its membership.
The society, which has a meeting scheduled for Sunday in Ladner, aims to promote heritage from the fishing industry's point of view, said president John Stevens, an active fisherman.
The group has ideas about creating a Fraser River estuary interpretive centre as well as a fishing museum.
"I think both of those things would really be a tourist attraction," said Stevens.
The interpretive centre would focus on the estuary and its value ecologically and culturally and what the Fraser River means to the people, he said.
The society has a couple of old fishing boats it's looking to restore and display somewhere in the municipality, he said, adding it would also like to
have historic cannery sites marked.
The society, which formed about a year ago, was originally a fishing heritage committee with the Delta Museum and
Archives. The meeting, open to the public, is set for Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Ladner Fishermen's Hall, 4481 Savoy St. Membership costs $10.
