New T-shirts available!

Our new t-shirts are finally ready! It was difficult to choose a single winner from all the wonderful designs that were entered in our design contest. After some tough deliberation we declared Lindsey Woodcock of Bowmanville High School the winner. The KTTC would like to thank Ricart’s of Peterborough for giving us a great deal on printing.

Adult shirts (S, M, L, XL) are $20
Youth sizes (S, M, L) are $15

***Updated Feb 24, 2010***

2009 Turtle Drop-off Locations

Remember to drive safely and keep an eye out for our slow-moving shelled friends on the roads!

If you find an injured turtle there are three drop-off locations it can be taken to this year. If you are in the Kawarthas the turtle can be taken to Riverside Park and Zoo in Peterborough. Turtles can also be dropped off directly at the Toronto Wildlife Centre or the Midland Wildlife Centre if you are further afield when you find the turtle in need. Please be sure to note the exact location the turtle is found, place the turtle in a well-ventilated container, and transport it to a drop-off location as soon as possible.

Riverview Park and Zoo
1230 Water St Peterborough
Drop-off between 8am and 4pm - find a zookeeper in a big yellow truck to help


Please call ahead if you are dropping off at one of these locations:

The Toronto Wildlife Centre
(416) 631- 0662

The Midland SPCA
1-888-ONT-SPCA (668-7722)
