A Whale of a Story: Closing in on the Clearwater Fisheries Deal
Chief Terry Paul joins host Jody Anderson on the third episode in Season Two of the Let’s Bond podcast to discuss the massive purchase of 50 per cent of Clearwater Seafoods, the largest seafood company in the world. He was head of the coalition of seven communities that became equity owners of Clearwater. The deal was made possible with support from FNFA.
Chief Terry Paul has been leading Membertou First Nation in Una'ma'ki (Cape Breton, NS) for more than 37 consecutive years. During this time, he has guided his Mi'kmaq community and administration into one of the most efficient and economically flourishing Indigenous communities in the country. Employment, once stagnant, now tops 80 per cent.
