The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority leads the Yellow Fish Road program in this area. We can help you get started and lend the materials you will need. We may be able to offer your group an informative presentation to help you prepare for the event. The presentation is intended to educate, motivate and instruct the volunteers. It typically includes a slide-show about how rain water picks up pollutants on its way from rooftops to rivers, and a demonstration of how to paint the fish safely and properly.
Children can role-play as water drops picking up pollutants in a fun game of Rolling to the River.
Depending on your schedule, the presentation could last from 20 to 60 minutes. All you need to provide for the presentation is a light coloured wall or a projection screen for the slide-show. Yellow Fish Road is a trademmark program of Trout Unlimited, which is endorsed and supported by many organizations including The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, The City of Toronto, Regions of York, Peel and Durham, Girl Guides of Canada, Scouts Canada, and many Boards of Education. We would like to thank our many supporters, including the thousands of youth volunteers, who make this program possible. We coordinate Yellow Fish Road in the urban communities of the City of Toronto, east Brampton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Pickering, Ajax, Caledon East, Bolton, Nobleton, King City, and Stouffville.
