The turtles had a wonderful time in the Haweater Parade on Sunday, August 2. Thank you to Little Current Lions for such a wonderful event!

If you see a turtle on the road, and they look like they may need a little help getting across, only stop to help if it is safe for you to do so. Please move them in the direction they are headed for the shortest distance that gets them out of harms way.

Thank you to all who help turtles! Be safe out there!
