The Tri-County Regional
School Board sponsored South Centennial Elementary School in an
environmental program called Yellow Fish Road. The program, with
funding and volunteer help from the local Tusket River Chapter of Trout
Unlimited Canada, had 10 elementary students learn in an after school
session about storm drains and about how when things are put into the drain,
the runoff goes into the ocean where fish could be impacted.

Students then painted
warning signs, using eco-friendly paint, near the drains to warn people to
not dump toxic material into the drains. The students also went around the
neighborhood and gave out Yellow Fish Road information cards to residents to
further explain the problem and the project.

Yellow Fish Road is a nation wide program sponsored by Trout Unlimited
Canada. The program is open to any school in Canada, and schools in
the TCRSB are encouraged to contact the local
Tusket River Chapter of Trout Unlimited Canada if they wish to join the
Yellow Fish Road activity, as the Chapter can help with expertise and
materials.
Seven
schools in the TCRSB are currently in the environment initiative programs of
the Board.
