Initial discussions on expanding the Tsiigehtchic commercial fishing industry drew about 40 participants to a workshop in the community on March 1, 2017.

The Department of Industry Tourism and Investment (ITI) has unveiled a plan to rebuild the commercial fishery on Great Slave Lake. 

Surrounded, appropriately, by members of the NWT Fishermen’s Federation (NWTFF), representatives of the Hay River business community and a new generation of NWT fishers, ITI Minister Wally Schumann introduced the strategy in Hay River this morning.
