British Columbia's salmon industry is currently one of the province's major sources of income. Its development from a primitive fishery to a highly organized industrial operation has had many phases, one of the most significant occuring in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this period several technological developments freed the industry from expensive and unreliable manual labour and Salmon Canning. SALMON CANNING in BC began on the FRASER R near NEW WESTMINSTER in , when James SYME opened the first cannery in an abandoned saltery. His operation failed, but 2 others begun in the same vicinity in succeeded in launching a permanent industry.

Salmon canning in British Columbia began in on the Fraser River, and shortly after, in , on the Skeena River. Over the next years or so, some canneries were built on the coast and as many as 95 operated in a given season. Many of these were on the Fraser River--B.C.'s (and Canada's) principal salmon producer. But most were upcoast--the outlying plants--and these supported ?id=qgzFsAe-S8UC. 1 David J.

The Blaine-Point Roberts fishery relied directly on the success of the Fraser River runs and local operations suffered as a result of the decline. The danger to the existence of the Fraser River sockeye salmon from overfishing was repeatedly pointed out, and this led to conservation

DAVID LEY The Development ofFraser the River Salmon Canning Industry, Salmon Canneries: British Columbia North Coast not only gives the reader a history of the fishery, but is also replete with black-and-white photographs that illustrate the genesis of the canning industry and the many canneries that processed the valuable catch. Fast freezing of the fish and modern refrigeration have superseded the earlier Salmon people: Coast Salish Fishing (Grades ) Long before the development of canneries, Aboriginal people fished along the banks of the Fraser River, including at the site of present- day Steveston. Using object-based inquiry, students explore the significance of fish and compare fishing and preservation methods. Cannery stories (Grades )
