Turtle Haven and the Region of Waterloo Traffic Department have installed the first of 'Turtle Crossing Signs' just outside of Paris in North Dumfries by Bannister and Wrigley Lakes about three years ago.

A big thank-you to Dave Banks, Manager, Transportation Engineering for designing the black silhouette turtle sign and to Valerie Pearcey for driving me around and scouting out areas for the signs. Ten signs were installed in the Region.

Unfortunately most of the signs were stolen in their first year, it still made people aware of turtles crossing in the Waterloo Region. I would still like people to report turtle road fatalities to TurtleHaven.

To help with road fatalities, Preston Animal Clinic and Campus Estates Animal Hospital in Guelph have offered their services to treat injured turtles.

If you find an injured turtle ... give TurtleHaven a call and we'll make sure the turtle gets the proper help.
