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.
