Yellow Fish Road

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.
