Turtle species in Ontario, such as this painted turtle, are often injured or killed while crossing roadways. Due to increased public awareness of the plight of turtles, of which all eight native species in Ontario are listed as species at risk, the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre in Peterborough has already admitted more than 1,100 injured turtles in 2019. The centre has an opportunity to expand into a new space thanks to a donation of land and buildings by local couple Mary and Gerry Young, but needs donations of money and skilled labour to make it happen.
