LFE Inc. and LFE-LP Update

Donald B. Simpson, MBA, BSc-BM. Economic Development Manager (EDM)

March marked an important milestone for the Lower Fraser Enterprise LP (LFE-LP), as we received work from staff at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ Pacific Integrated Commercial Fisheries Initiative (PICFI) that the LFE-LP Expression of Interest submitted earlier in the year has been approved.

LFE-LP will receive funding for developing a commercial fisheries enterprise business plan as well as a training plan. This has been the result of efforts that started in 2014 and will be operationalized in short order. LFE-LP and its Commercial Fishing Enterprise will be a separate independent entity from the Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance, which is a not-for-profit society.

Many thanks to the LFE-LP board members for pushing to make own-source revenue a reality.
