Safari Club International to fund a micro-hatchery program in Island school
KAGAWONG—The Safari Club International will be funding a micro-hatchery program being developed at a school on Manitoulin Island.
At a United Fish and Game Club of Manitoulin (UFGCM) meeting last week, club member Ian Anderson (who chaired the meeting) told members of the club, “I talked to representatives of the Safari Club International and they have adecided to fund a micro-hatchery at one of our schools on Manitoulin Island.”
“I have received confirmation that they will be funding a micro-hatchery in an Island school (this fall),” said Mr. Anderson. He told the meeting that he has talked to at least two schools on the Island that are interested in participating in the program.
Mr. Anderson pointed out that the micro-hatchery will be identical to the system that was in place at Charles C. McLean Public School this past fall.
