A call on the Province to support the Manitoba fisheries, that are out close to $1 million, has been made by the Manitoba Métis Federation.
MMF President Chartrand claims that 50% of the fishing industry’s workforce is Métis, and this has been a difficult situation for those involved.
Dawson Bay Fish Packers, Eddystone Fisheries Co-op, Ashern Fisheries Co-op, and Waterhen Winter Fisheries, were impacted from the loss.
The Minister of Sustainable Development is planning on touring the Interlake next month to talk to fishers.
