On December 11, Melissa Dick visited Lucerne Elementary Secondary School in New Denver, BC, to do presentations on the physiology of Pacific salmon. She worked with the grade 7/8 and 9/10 classes to dissect two adult salmon spawners. They identified the different organs and discussed their functions. The students recently took water samples from a nearby creek for which there are future plans for restoration with the eventual goal of having a spawning area for Kokanee salmon.
