Abstract

The Prince Rupert Fishermen’s Co-operative Association was created in 1931 by a group of fishermen eager to take control of their own economic destiny. Their aim was to bypass the large canning companies’ control of the fishery and sell fish directly to fresh-fish agents in the urban centres. These early co-operators opted to develop direct links between fishers and the fresh-fish market rather than challenge the existing sets of producer-processor relations of production and form a trade union.
