        History

        The “Black Whale” was a craft shop established in 1938. The shop was run by the Percé Handicraft Committee, under the long-standing leadership of its president Ethel Renouf. The shop served to reinvigorate local arts and handicrafts in Percé, supporting local artists and creating a market for handmade products. The shop's proceeds sponsored a number of community endeavors, including a dental clinic. In 1948, the shop's founders produced the Black Whale Cook Book.
