DID YOU KNOW THAT FROGS BREATHE THROUGH THEIR SKIN? Because of this, their presence is an indicator of water quality!

It's fun to catch and observe frogs and other amphibians, but please remember:

👉 Humans should not touch amphibians. Use a net!
👉 Our skin oils clog their pores which they use to breathe!
👉 We can easily damage their skin as our skin is rougher than theirs.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out tonight to show their support for our idea to create a space dedicated to youth in our community! We packed the audience and got the wheels turning in the right direction!

Next step is to submit a business case, which we will do in short order. ✅

Thank you, Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Council, for hearing our proposal and for encouraging us to continue our efforts to support our community's young people.
