Fur trading flourished in most of Canada from about 9,000 years ago to today. When Europeans began arriving in 1000 AD, exports overseas began.

Since then the trade has had it's ups and downs. Starting in the 1600's large companies such as the Hudson Bay Company were created to exploit the resource on an industrial scale.

1949 saw a peak of over 600 processing plants, employing many thousands of people. Even today the fur trade flourishes with exports worth many millions of dollars.
