Commercial film and photography guidelines

All commercial filming and photography at the national historic site requires a film or photography permit.

Fort Langley National Historic Site is a 19th century Hudson’s Bay Company trading post managed by Parks Canada. The site is located in Fort Langley village, a popular film location on the south bank of the Fraser River in the Metro Vancouver region of BC. The site consists of a historic fort (12 wooden structures surrounded by a log palisade, a grassy orchard area, a parking lot with picnic area, and a wooded waterfront property.

To care for this amazing place and also ensure visitors’ experiences are not impacted, filming and photography activities have special considerations.
