EDMONTON, March 18, 2013 /CNW/ - Goodfish Laundry, the Whitefish Lake First Nation #128's newest venture opened its doors today in Edmonton. Wholly owned by the First Nation group, and with proceeds going back into the community trust, Goodfish Laundry represents another win for both members of the community and for the city of Edmonton.
