History
Duncan Stacey was born December 26, 1945. He earned a B.A. in economic history in 1970 and an M.A. in history in 1978, both from UBC. He held many positions in the fishing industry over his lifetime including commercial fisherman, tenderman, seaman, and cannery fish inspector, in addition to working as a researcher and consultant in the fishing industry. He was a consultant and expert witness for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, as well as other industry organisations, regarding legal cases related primarily to First Nations fishing rights. He wrote many published works on the subject of fisheries in BC, including two co-authored books: Corklines and Canning Lines, (1992) and Salmonopolis: The Steveston Story, (1994). He also conducted curatorial and consulting work for the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Canadian Postal Museum, and Parks Canada, including the Gulf of Georgia National Historic Site, before his death in 2012.
