Wabung Fisheries Co-op revitalizes fishery in Garden Hill, Manitoba
After being closed for many years, the commercial fishing plant in Garden Hill First Nation, a fly-in community in Northern Manitoba, is up and running again. Float planes—carrying up between 800 and 1,400 pounds of fish—are able to do two trips a day in and out of the community to bring the fish to market. Congratulations to the Wabung Fisheries Co-op, who worked to restore and re-open the local fish plant.
