Fish Field Trip

It may have been a lazy day for the rest of the students, but we at Mountain Aquaponics found it the perfect opportunity to bring our system to all of the different teachers gathered at a pro-D day event. However, this was easier said than done. As cars and large amounts of water in uncovered containers aren’t entirely the best of friends, most of the club gathered together to drain everything-- to mobilize the whole system. Our trip to and from Kwantlen Polytechnic University was a huge success and so much fun; we managed to meet so many new teachers that provided such positive feedback and support in aquaponics and the idea of having their own systems in their classrooms. Enormous shout-out and thank-you to Gary Jones, Co-Chair of the School of Horticulture at KPU. Thanks so much for providing us with this opportunity to share our passions to teachers across the district. With this, our team has discovered that our aquaponics can go far-- both literally and metaphorically!
