Manitoba’s inland commercial fishing industry contributes significant dollars to the province’s economy with an estimated market value of $ 82 million in fish being harvested on an annual basis. Within Canada’s inland fisheries, Manitoba is one of the largest producers of freshwater fish. Commercial fishing provides income and a way of life for nearly 3,500 Manitobans. The inland fishery is an important element of not just Manitoba’s but Canada’s character and holds particular importance with Indigenous peoples and in northern and remote communities. The industry continues to be one of, and at times the only, major industry available to many of Manitoba’s northern communities in the Look North region.
