What is Yellow Fish Road ?

Trout Unlimited Canada's Yellow Fish Road program educates the public about the impacts of pollution entering urban storm drains. In most communities, water entering storm drains goes directly into local rivers, streams and lakes untreated. Storm drain pollution can harm fish and wildlife, as well as reduce water quality for human use.

Yellow Fish Road volunteers paint "yellow fish" symbols and the words, 'Rainwater Only' beside storm drains and distribute fish-shaped brochures to nearby households. These activities remind people to properly use and safely dispose of hazardous household chemicals, rather than allowing these to enter curb side storm drains.

Trout Unlimited Canada (TUC) introduced the Yellow Fish Road program in 1991. To date over 220 communities across Canada have approved or implemented this unique and importnat water quality initiative.

Grey Sauble Conservation has partnered with Trout Unlimited Canada's Yellow Fish Road program to help reduce the level of contaminants entering the water supply.
