Buy BC: New Opportunities for Vancouver Island Seafood Companies
Channel: GovernmentofBC
Date: 2021-03-08

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, three Vancouver Island seafood companies—Walcan Seafood, Finest at Sea and St. Jean’s Cannery & Smokehouse—faced new challenges that affected their business and sales.
By pivoting and focusing on selling their products to local consumers, these seafood companies were able to leverage new opportunities, meet new demands and successfully reach a new customer market.
This project was supported by the BC Government’s Buy BC Partnership Program to support the immediate needs of B.C.’s farmers and food and beverage processors as a result of COVID-19.
