Ioco (Imperial Oil Corporation) Ghost Town visit
• • •
Fear Of Missing Out (commonly referred to as FOMO) made me want to explore things and places that may soon disappear. Recently (well, not that recently) I found out about Ioco Town near Port Moody, a town wrapped around the Imperial Oil Company refinery (hence the abbreviation) – you can read the full history here. The refinery was closed, and the houses were left behind, while the inhabitants went to look for employment elsewhere.
