of Idaho (which hatches sturgeon) and the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations hosted the annual juvenile white sturgeon release. About 1,000 were set free in the Kootenay River at the public event, and schoolchildren released about 500 in the morning near Sutcliffe Farms, helping to repopulate the endangered species. Out of every 1,000 released, 280 will survive two years, 220 will survive five and 190 will survive eight. After 12 years, about 180 will still be alive.

If town councillors were tempted not to declare a Clean Air, Water and Soil Day, a presentation by Canyon-Lister Elementary School Be the Change students at the April 26 regular meeting quickly changed their minds. About 20 students, along with teachers and parents, packed council chambers. The students made a verbal presentation (on page 5) to back their request, showed posters promoting environmental responsibility and then sang the Blue Dot song. “We tried to help the environment just by making little changes,” the students said in the presentation. “For example, in one month we saved about 1,500 litres of water just by using one cup of water each time we brushed our teeth instead of the Canadian average of eight litres of water per day just to brush their teeth.” They joined the David Suzuki Foundation’s Blue Dot movement about two months ago. “It is an organization that believes that every person has the right to have clean air, water and safe food,” they said. “It is a movement that is growing across the country with 95,403 participants and counting.” After the presentation, Mayor Ron Toyota thanked the delegation and declared a two-minute recess, inviting visitors to leave or stay at their pleasure. “And just so you know, council will be declaring June 7 Clean Air, Water and Soil Day,” he added, getting a roomful of smiles and thank yous.
