We are so happy to announce that our first turtle nest was protected this morning. Thank you Turtle Protectors for caring for the turtles in Smythe Park!
If you see a turtle on the land please contact the Turtle Hotline at 647-491-4057

The debate over Billy Bishop Airport isn't just about jets vs. noise, it's about future of Toronto’s waterfront. For many, the harbour is cottage country. Do we take that away for increased flights? Or continue to restore the connection to Lake Ontario? https://t.co/uqOx1oVRsR

20% of world’s surface fresh water is flowing by the Island but taking water for granted turned this privilege into a crisis. Lack of investment in proper sewage treatment was a red flag. Montreal warning residents of water shortages this summer. https://t.co/pYo0YQ5Fl4

Toronto's aging infrastructure means a heavy downpour quickly triggers sewer overflows. Engineering fixes take decades, but honest communication shouldn't. Why the City needs to ditch the PR spin and tell the truth about our water quality https://t.co/iu1ueXNQma

Please keep your dog on a leash & away from wildlife. If you see someone who has their dog off of a leash in an undesignated area please inform them of the by-laws & that it is baby season. If they don't, call 311. Hearts are broken AGAIN because of a dog attack. Thank you

There has to be a better way! Closing outdoor educational learning centres is bad for students. #onted #tdsb https://t.co/1aQgg7SgKY

Polluters pay. ArcelorMittal Exploitation Minière Canada hit with a record-breaking $100 MILLION fine for illegally dumping toxic, acidic & high-metal effluents into Quebec waterways. The historic fine will help fund environmental restoration projects. https://t.co/kE9TaydL7X

@waterkeepermark @swimdrinkfish This is my favourite drive to get away from Toronto. It is absolutely the most beautiful location along Lakeshore to visit. Wesleyville is historically significant too. This area should be protected and naturalized. What the heck!!!!

[Mark Mattson @waterkeepermark]

Nothing like a forest floor blanketed in White Trilliums to remind us of the beauty of moms, resilient, elegant, and always blooming right where they’re needed most. @swimdrinkfish Happy Mother’s Day.

Considering deep history of Great Lakes/St Lawrence, mixed with modern science, the proposals for Great Lakes nuclear expansion & lake-filling for airports, are steps backward. Biinaagami suggests prosperity isn’t possible when sacrificing clean water. https://t.co/l5ub4M5td8

In our divided world, built on labels & character assassination, we’re losing the ability to find common ground. Soundkeeper & Waterkeeper Terry Backer always said: respect isn't just a courtesy, it’s our life raft.

There are 23 federal MPs in Toronto and they have to be onside with @Fordnation for the attack on the Toronto Waterfront to go ahead (the Tripartite Agreement includes Feds, Province and the City). #HandsOffOurWaterfront #NOJetsTO

[Mark Mattson @waterkeepermark]

Lake Ontario defines Toronto. Why are we witnessing a 1950s-style land grab for industry & convenience? Federal laws: Navigable waters, fisheries act, migratory birds will trigger assessments. Federal gov’t must not avoid scrutiny. https://t.co/kpB3F2OVfx

It would be nice to swim/put our feet into Black Creek to cool off. Nobody can because of the sewage. This flows to Lake Ontario. The City is spending hundreds of millions of taxpayers money & will still dump sewage into this watershed. petition https://t.co/27QQCEIvXS

@waterkeepermark @normsworld @swimdrinkfish @LOWaterkeeper Excellent!
