Anticipated start date: March 24, 2025
Who We Are
The Northern Native Fishing Corporation (NNFC) was incorporated in 1982 to ensure First Nations fishers’ participation in the commercial salmon fishery through the establishment of a licence bank. Through this process, the Corporation holds licenses and/or quota that is leased back to members at reduced or “fair trade” rates, which in turn improves the economic viability of the fishery and secures access for members. NNFC continues to support First Nations’ participation in the Pacific commercial fishing industry by diversifying its holdings through a licence alternation program. This process will give NNFC fishers the opportunity to harvest a variety of species that ensure the benefits from fisheries flow back to active fish harvesters and their communities.
