Central Okanagan students learn importance of salmon with annual release
- On the morning of May 7, 2025, Central Okanagan students joined Elders and community members at Kelowna's Rotary Beach Park for the yearly event organized by the Okanagan Nation Alliance to release sockeye salmon fry into the wild.
- The event followed weeks of students raising salmon in classrooms, feeding and checking them daily, with seven total releases planned throughout May to emphasize salmon's ecological role.
- Students, including Blake and Ethan from Peachland Elementary, explained the hard work involved and the importance of salmon in sustaining ecosystems through food chains involving bears and forest health.
- Blake explained that they cared for the fish daily by feeding them and monitoring their health throughout the school day, while Ethan emphasized the crucial role salmon play in supporting a healthy ecosystem.
- Not all salmon survived the classroom raising, but the release aims to support ecosystem balance and community understanding of salmon’s need for shade, coolness, and trees to thrive.
