Tiny fish carefully reared from eggs by Cathy Ireton's Grade 3 class at Willows elementary are working their way to the sea.
Bob and George were top names as kids took tiny cups, with even tinier silver chum fry in them, and carefully sent them on their way into Bowker Creek on Wednesday (April 17).
In the outdoor classroom adjacent to the waterway behind Oak Bay High, Joscilyn Cliff of Stream to Sea suggested the students name the fledgling fish before bidding adieu. She explained how the fish would forge their way out to sea - some succumb to humans, bears and other predators - and mingle with their peers from around the world before returning to Bowker in about two years' time.
