How it works
Once your application is approved, we provide you with a print-ready PDF of your customized stream signage, designed with your stream name(s) and your municipality, community, and/or funder's logo. You are then responsible for the costs and labour involved in printing and installing the signs within a one-year timeframe. You are also responsible for maintaining your signs going forward.
Need help funding your signs? The costs of signs and materials (approximately $300 per sign including printing and installation) can be covered in a variety of ways. Many groups will choose to apply for grants or conduct fundraising efforts to fund this program. Municipalities may be interested in contributing financial or in-kind resources to support sign printing and/or installation.
Municipalities and local partners and Watershed Planning Advisory Councils may provide advice and guidance on site selection, funding, and installation logistics. The Alberta Native Trout Collaborative can also provide guidance and advice to groups interested in getting started on fish habitat signage.
How to Apply
Step 1. Check this map to determine if the stream you have in mind is eligible for native trout stream name signs. Any stream where native trout are potentially found is eligible for signage.
For Arctic Grayling, please consult the Arctic Grayling FSI map for stream name signage eligibility. Any watershed marked on the map is potentially eligible for Arctic Grayling stream name signage.
