Our educational programs in freshwater and environmental stewardship offer hands-on experiences that engage participants in conservation efforts. Activities like electrofishing teach practical skills and highlight the importance of healthy aquatic ecosystems. Meanwhile, the "Curious Kids Discover" program inspires young minds to explore nature and fosters environmental responsibility. Join us in nurturing future environmental stewards!

FCC
Freshwater Conservation Canada is committed to conserving, protecting, and restoring Canada’s freshwater ecosystems and their coldwater resources for current and future generations. Programs and projects are delivered by our professional staff along with local chapters, volunteers, and partners. Our on-the-ground work addresses challenges related to water quality, water quantity, aquatic community health, and freshwater habitats. Restoration work also helps to mitigate the impacts of climate change by improving ecosystem resilience and function. Programs include species at risk recovery efforts, riparian rehabilitation and reforestation, and implementation of low-tech process-based restoration including beaver mimicry and other in-stream habitat improvements.
1972
Seven fly fishers in Montreal were concerned about habitat loss in Canadian streams. Later that year, Trout Unlimited Canada was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation.
1995
The Yellow Fish Road program expanded across Canada, educating youth about the impacts of toxins entering waterways through storm drains.
2017
Trout Unlimited Canada has evolved to protect stream habitat loss while also focusing on native species protection/recovery, climate change, legislation changes, urban sprawl, invasive species, and water resource awareness.
