Students from Chilliwack Landing Preschool and Squiala Preschool were celebrating Earth Day last week and got to release some of the 2,000 smolts into the stream that day.
The annual event sees younger students (up to Grade 3) releasing fish into the stream which leads to the Fraser River. Additionally, students from Sto:lo Alternate and Chilliwack Education Centre lend a hand with the day's activities.
