In 1889, the North Pacific
Cannery was built adjacent
to the Inverness Cannery. It
was taken over three years
later by H.O. Bell-Irving and
became known as the Anglo-

North Pacific Plant. Except
for two seasons this plant
operated continuously for 77
years. In early 1969 it was
purchased by Canadian Fish-

canning, the machinery was
removed. It is now used as a
reduction plant for fish meal
and oil and for repairs and
storage of boats and nets.

The Cassiar Packing Com-

mouth of the Skeena River.
Ewen Macmillan, the grand-
son of Alexander Ewen, one
of the founders of British
Columbia’s first salmon can-
nery at Annieville on the
Fraser River, has been one of
Cassiar’s owners for many
years. This plant has also
recorded 74 years of continu-
ous operation. .

‘ CLOSED DOWN

‘

The fourth cannery at Port
Edward, Sunnyside, was
constructed in 1916 between
the North Pacific Plant and
the Cassiar Cannery. Sunny-
side eventually came under
British Columbia Packers’
ownership when transferred

British Columbia Packing’s

ing and after a year or two of

pany was built in 1903 at the

from the Gosse Packing
Company in 1928. It closed
down recently. °

Near the time of Sunny-
side’s demise, British Co-
lumbia Packers acquired
Nelson Brothers Fisheries,
one of the major processing
plants in the north, located
on Porpoise Harbour, which
connects with Inverness Pas-
sage.

The five fish plants, once
strung like beads along the
six mile Inverness. Passage
and Porpoise Harbour, were
separate entities until Port
Edward was incorporated as
a village municipality with
‘the letters patent placing
them all within the village’s
boundaries. .

Port Edward was laid out
as a townsite in 1907 by a
group of speculators, who
hoped that it would be the
terminus of the proposed
Grand Trunk Railway, now
Canadian National Railway.
When Prince Rupert, on
adjacent Kaien Island, was
selected. as the terminus,
early plans for the develop:
ment of Port Edward fell
through. So it remained a
fishing community until 1966
when residents moved to-
ward incorporation, which
was finally approved on June
29, 1966.

While many of Port Ed-
ward’s residents are employ-
ed by industries in Prince
Rupert, the village remains
today a predominantly fish-
ing community.

In its 101 years it has
experienced all the transi-
tions and growth of one of
British Columbia’s leading
industries, from a _ small,
isolated, hand-operated out-
post employing fishermen in
open dories to the. present
highly-mechanized plants
employing skilled processors
and vast fleets of modern,
far-ranging vessels.
