apparently, the service department for carter honda (where i work) was once a fishing cannery back in the 50's or so..? . i wondered why they wont fix all those problems with the building, and apparently its a historic building now. its an old building, but painted over. correct me if im wrong.

That makes total sense. My father was a commercial fisherman and back in those days, False Creek was jammed with small commercial fishing boats. I'm not sure about any fish canneries, but it might have been a fish processing plant of some kind. Come to think of it, there was a very small family owned cannery somewhere in False Creek, but that would have been long gone. Way before even my time. My father was one of the last people to stop mooring his fishing boat at False Creek. I remember him cursing about all these recreational boaters taking over the docks. If he were alive now, he would have a fit........ yeah, dad, it's called Granville Island Market. Tourism is more important. Now you know how farmers feel, being pushed out further and further away. Progress, I guess.
