#FishFriday This juvenile longnose gar was found during @TRCA_HQ night electrofishing surveys at Tommy Thompson Park wetlands. Finding a wide variety of juvenile fish demonstrates the wetlands are functioning as a nursery for native species! Learn more: https://t.co/hZ7S1R5M5F

As winter weather approaches, we must be mindful of our salt usage. More than 5 million tonnes of road salt is used in Canada each year. This salt dissolves into sodium and chloride ions and washes away into our storm drains, seeping into our water bodies and groundwater sources.
