New Video About the History of BC's Commercial Fishing Industry

Fish Safe is featured heavily in a new video created by WorkSafeBC that documents the commercial fishing industry on our coast as well as the history of the worker's compensation system.

Familiar faces abound in this video - Tony Mijacika, Nick Carr, Gina McKay, Bruce Logan, Glenn Budden - all individuals who have been instrumental to the evolution of the industry and safety over the years. 

Watch the full video here:

The major commercial fishery in B.C. began with the first canneries along the coast in the late 1800s. The work was hard and the money was good. It was also dangerous work and over the years many fishermen have been fatally injured. This video, produced with the B.C.

This video, produced with the B.C. Labour Heritage Centre, tells the health and safety story of our industry and shares what is being done to make it safer for the men and women who fish today - a role Fish Safe plays a big part in.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the creation of this informative and impressive video - it's a job well done!
