If You See a Turtle in Distress: Call 289 775 1351
Thank you to everyone who volunteered this past year. We saved many lives and it was a very successful season. Stay warm in the chilly months ahead, and let’s look forward to warmer times in the Spring.
Remember, even if you are not an official volunteer, turtles can still use your help! Drive cautiously, adhering to the speed limits on King Street and Cootes Drive, and be wary of small creatures on the bike paths bordering the roads.
Thank you for your help!!
Just found turtle hit by car. Picked it up. Now what.
Thanks Belinda. Please call 289 775 1351 for assistance.
Thank you for the advice Mr. Turtle Watch volunteer! I saw a painted turtle about to cross York Rd. today (near the Hydro One station). I called the hotline and you told me to take it to the Desjardins Canal. So I did. I have pictures, and a video. I could send them if you provide an email address.
