|---|
| My name is Liam Ingram. I am in 8th grade at Trafalgar Middle School in Nelson, BC. I have lots of different interests including hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, hunting and of course fishing! I have some other favourite sports including snowboarding and football. As you can see, I really love being active! My project began with my love of fishing and wanting to keep our lake (Kootenay Lake) as beautiful and unpolluted as possible. Most lures that you buy are plastic and bad for the environment. I hope my lures will change how people fish. I hope in the future that my love of fishing will translate into a career as a fish biologist. We need to protect our fish habitats and I hope to make a difference. I have never been to Saskatchewan before and I am really looking forward to seeing different landscapes and lakes. It should be a great week. |
