B.C. Lions players Rolly Lumbala and JR LaRose paid a visit to Neilson Grove Elementary in Ladner last Thursday to talk about saving energy.

The Lions were at the school as part of the FortisBC Energy Champions program.

Now in its third season, the FortisBC Energy Champions program is designed specifically for children in kindergarten through Grade 7, emphasizing the importance of environmental responsibility and being an "Energy Champion."

In 2011, the initiative visited 75 elementary schools throughout British Columbia, inspiring more than 25,000 students to play an active role in reducing their environmental footprint.
