Following Nick Savidov’s presentation, Current Prairie Fisherman Corp is providing an opportunity for SACPA members to visit a developing aquaponics facility nearby. Tilapia fish are already being produced there which are shipped to the Vancouver market. A large greenhouse is under construction which will work in synergy with the fish growing operation to develop a full-fledged aquaponics system.
Driving instructions
It is about a 45 minute drive to the aquaponics facility. SACPA members are expected to drive there on their own, car-pooling as necessary to minimize CO2 emissions. We will leave the Keg by 1:30 PM in order to arrive at the tour site by 2:30PM. Go north on Mayor Magrath Drive and then west on Highway 3 to the Highway 23 turnoff toward Vulcan. Go north on Highway 23 to the Granum – Nobleford traffic circle. Go west toward Granum for 15km on Highway 519 and then turn left on Range Road 252. You should see the pump jack and grain bins.
