Central Manitoulin Public School Release Salmon Raised in Micro-Hatchery

 Yesterday we accompanied Grade 5 and grade 1 classes from CMPS of Mindemoya, in M’Chigeeng where we also met up with Grade 5 class from Lakeview School to release salmon raised in the micro-hatchery at CMPS. There were about 80 fry released into M’Chigeeng Creek. This was very exciting as this release was done in the location of the restoration work carried out annually by the Lakeview Grade 8 class. Many thanks to Ian Anderson from the Gore Bay Fish & Game Club for leading this initiative and Elder Lewis Debassige for including a spiritual presence at this event. The children had a lot of fun in the spring snow, still abundant, and were able to see the salmon swim off in their new home.
