Eskasoni Elementary
Metepenagiag School
Eskasoni Middle School
Honourable Mention
Voter Comments:
- I believe that these kids have not only participated in the contest, but have gone way beyond that....they have come up with an action plan for the rest of the school year........a plan that involves each class and invites participation from all students.
- They want to send the message that it is up to all of us in our own way to protect mother earth and the environment we all live in. The fact that they feel that it is important to start with the younger grades because some day they will be leaders within their school and community is the long term outlook. Their message is that "everyone has a responsibility to clean and protect mother earth and if we all work together in unity then great things can happen in respect to the protection of Mother Earth is very loud and clear.

Winner
Voter Comments:
- I am casting my vote for Waycobah First Nation Elementary School. Providing a smoke free environment for our children especially at home and public place should be one of our top priorities. As mother earth takes care of us we should also take care of our young and try our best to provide them with the best.
- I believe the Waycobah Elementary Students should be honoured greatly with their efforts to have public buildings in Waycobah smoke free!!!
- The voice of the children was greatly heard by leaders, community members, teachers, band employees and the general public... Thank you for helping Mother Earth...
