Scope and content
Series consists of items from the Canadian Fishing Company, including administrative materials, technical drawings, photographs, and ephemera. The Canadian Fishing Company was established in 1905 in Vancouver to supply halibut to the New England Fish Company and other distributing companies. Canfisco began to can salmon in 1918 and this operation soon became its primary activity. In 1945 the Company became a major producer in the herring and pilchard industry through its acquisition of the Nootka-Banfield Company and its associated operations. As of 2014, the company is still a packer of canned salmon, and a national distributor of Gold Seal canned salmon and tuna, and other seafood products.
