If you are waiting to register your class for the 2008 season,
remember, your class has to be
participating in the 'Salmonids in the Classroom' program offered by
Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Those classes will be contacted
through our program administrator who will be furnished with your
contact information by way of your participation in Salmonids in the
Classroom. Registrations will be on a first come-first serve basis
and will be accepted by internet or fax only in 2008.
'GENTLY
DOWN THE SEYMOUR'DVD & VIDEO
The Seymour Salmonid Society hasa 32-minute
DVD and video called ‘Gently Down the Seymour’.
It chronicles a year in the life of the hatchery
and uses a teacher-student, question-answer format.
It covers in great detail the GDS course and
the life cycle of salmon raised at the
hatchery.
You'll follow the salmon fromthe initial egg collecting, to incubation, to rearing, to
releasing back into the river as smolts. Students will learn the importance of
wise stewardship and how
the Society is doing all they can to preserve the fish in the Seymour
River. Many other activities are shown and explained giving the viewer an understanding of what
is done and why it is so important.
'Gently Down the Seymour’ continually receives praise as an excellent teaching tool from school board trustees, librarians, students and teachers who are now using it in their curricula. It is ideally suited for students from K-6 but is enjoyed by people of all ages.
