Looking for a simple way to make a difference in your neighbourhood before summer ends? New Westminster residents can take part in the City's Catch Basin Marking Program and help raise awareness about protecting local waterways.

Through the program, residents can borrow a free kit and paint yellow fish symbols beside designated catch basins in their neighbourhood. The hands-on activity offers a chance to get outdoors while highlighting an important environmental message.

Catch basins collect rainwater and surface runoff from streets before carrying it to local waterways without treatment. Pollutants such as paint, soap, oil and chemicals that enter a catch basin can therefore make their way into aquatic ecosystems, potentially affecting fish and wildlife.

The yellow fish symbols serve as a reminder that what goes down a street drain can ultimately reach local waterways.

Residents interested in participating can borrow a marking kit and help spread the message in their community. Kits must be borrowed by Thursday, October 15.

More information about the Catch Basin Marking Program and how to borrow a kit is available through the City of New Westminster.
