​The Pioneer Commercial Fishers of Manitoba (PCFM) was formed to increase public awareness of Manitoba’s commercial fishing industry and activities; to support and conduct nonpartisan research, educational and informational activities to increase public awareness of issues in commercial fishing protection and restoration; to sponsor reports, meetings and workshops for commercial fishers and stakeholders about how to  strengthen the industry ; and to educate the public about the needs of the communities and end users that work to protect and restore Manitoba’s commercial fisheries.
​PCFM was created in order to replace the former Co-Management board as it was proven on multiple occasions that the system was no longer working in a collaborative manner with a focus on celebrating our industry and its various contributions to Manitoba.
​
• Pioneer Fishers Association of Manitoba (PCFM) is a group that was created from an urgent need
• The Association is a not for profit organization
