Kudos to our gracious volunteers from the Osoyoos Lake Water Quality Society (OLWQS) who set aside a few hours Sunday morning to repaint the yellow fish symbols (using non-toxic materials) adjacent to the numerous storm drains throughout Osoyoos.

“We do this gesture annually to remind residents and visitors to Osoyoos that what you put into the storm drain can affect wildlife such as fish,” says OLWQS President, Birgit Arnstein.

It was a glorious morning to be out in the sunshine. You may have our three teams with their brightly coloured safety vests on Main Street; HWY 97 to the bridge along ‘hotel row’ down Lakeshore Drive; Cottonwood Drive; Maple Drive and all the other little roads in that area; Spartan to the Osoyoos Marina; Lions Park up 92nd; Down 87th Ave to the Museum; Legion Beach and part of Kingfisher.
