Applications for the Salmonid Project (raising salmon in classrooms) will be sent to interested Burnaby schools in mid to late October.  Here are a few links that might be helpful if you are considering applying:

www.salmonidsintheclassroom.ca   (outlines the program’s timelines)

www.streamtosea.ca    (K-12 learning resources)

http://www.salmonidsintheclassroom.ca/cooling.html   (information on refrigeration units – approximately $1200 – schools are encouraged to apply for funding and purchase one for the school’s use – these are usually borrowed from DFO for the first year ) – contact Bev Bowler from DFO ( bgbowler@me.com ) for information on grants for chillers if school/district funding is not available – note: Sd41 Salmon Co-ordinator is Coleen Barndt (at Gilmore)
