Provincial Project:

Yellow Fish Road - (PDF) - Looking for a water-related service project for the spring? Consider taking part in Trout Unlimited Canada’s Yellow Fish Road. This project involves learning about protecting storm drains and how what goes in them affects local bodies of water. Units use stencils to paint yellow fish near storm drains and distribute door hangers to explain that the yellow fish are there to remind them that anything that flows down the storm drain ends up polluting local water bodies. This is an educational and fun project that units of all ages can enjoy.
