Yellowfish Environmental Stewardship Program - $2,050
Gordon Terrace Elementary School
Cranbrook, BC

Stewart Wilson, grade 3 teacher at Gordon Terrace Elementary School will be continuing to foster and develop environmental awareness and stewardship among his students through a variety of projects during the year, which are well established and supported by the Ministry of Education IRP’s. What originally began as an awareness campaign to inform students, parents and individuals living within the Gordon Terrace School zone about keeping storm drains free from dangerous contaminants, has evolved into ongoing education about how students and their families can make a difference in caring for their environment. This involves students not only learning about the Yellow Fish program; the importance of Joseph Creek as a source of water; the importance of the riparian zone to the creek; the importance of Elizabeth Lake as a wetland, the 4 R’s - Reduce , Reuse and Recycle, and Respect Nature; but also being involved in action projects as they develop attitudes and skills in water stewardship and environmental stewardship in general, as well as developing skills mentoring other students.
