Wednesday, June 6, 2012 1937 - 2012 · Celebrating 75 Years Orono Weekly Times - 7 Guides exhibit environmental stewardship photo submitted Orono Girl Guides painted yellow fish on the storm sewer covers in the village on Saturday May 12. Guides pictured from left to right: Carly, Kyra, Gracie, ?, Emily, Rachael (front), Cierra, Savannah (front), Elisia, Annabelle, Abby, ? The Orono Guides partnered with Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority in a national initiative called Yellow Fish Road. The yellow fish are reminders to residents that only rainwater should go down storm drains. In Orono, these drains empty into Orono Creek, a tributary of Wilmot Creek and the storm water eventually makes its way into Lake Ontario. Storm water that is contaminated with fertilizers, oils, gasses and other hazardous materials will pollute local rivers and streams. Residents are encouraged to dispose of hazardous waste through local municipal hazardous waste programs to ensure that only clean rainwater and snow melt travel through storm water drains. Left The Orono Girl Guides planted 90 trees and shrubs along Orono Creek in the Orono Park on the evening of Tuesday May 15 with the assistance of the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority and financial assistance of Kendal Lions Club. The tree roots will help to stabilize the banks of the creek and their leaves will shade the water, creating cooler temperatures and creating great fish habitat
