This was once the largest fish producer in North America, starting up in 1890. By the 1940's, Canfisco had a large fleet of fishing boats which were leased to local fishermen.

The Prince Rupert Fishermen's Co-operative Association (Inc) flag shown in the book Historic Flags of the West Coast was probably first displayed in the early 1960's; by the late 1970's the "co-op" adopted the International Co-operative flag (the rainbow flag) as their house flag.
