New fish processing plant enters busy marketplace
While plans are already in the works for a Vancouver-based company to build a new fish plant in North Battleford, another fish company is completing the build for its new processing plant at Ile-a-la Crosse.
Wendel Desjarlais, chief executive officer of Sakitawak Development Corporation, said the new Ile-a-la Crosse Fish Company Inc. fish processing plant is expected to be finished August 2017.
“I am quite excited by it,” Desjarlais said. “I’m looking forward to doing some new value-added processing for our fishery.”
Desjarlais added he hoped there is enough room in the market for his processing plant, as well as the plant being planned in North Battleford.
