Fish Hatcheries at St. Joseph Catholic School (Oshawa) and Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic School

St. Joseph Catholic School and Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic School in Oshawa have received brook trout eggs from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and have begun a meaningful journey of caring for these new relatives. Students are learning about the trout habitat, life cycles, and the responsibilities involved in supporting their wellbeing.

Together with community partners Ben Marshall, Rolly Frappier, and members of the Indigenous Education Team, students helped assemble the hatchery system, grounding the work in shared responsibility and relationship. Students now take part in daily observations, monitoring water temperature, clarity, and the overall health of the system.
