Curator's note | Commercial fishing in Saskatchewan dates back to 1885, when rail transport first came to the Qu’Appelle Valley. Regulated and managed from Ottawa, and based largely on whitefish, the commercial fishing industry was dominated by southern businesses and commercial interests in Alberta and Manitoba, with most exports going to eastern Canada and, until the 1930s, the United States. |
