Happy World Sea Turtle Day (June 16)!

Sea turtles always look like they disapprove of your life choices… but they have been around for over 100 million years, so maybe they know a thing or two!

These ancient creatures travel thousands of kilometres between feeding and nesting grounds, often returning to the very same beach where they were born. They use Earth’s magnetic field to navigate the open ocean!

Fun fact:
The temperature of the sand where turtle eggs incubate determines whether hatchlings are male or female. Warmer sand usually means more females.

What is your other sea turtle facts? Let us know! 👇

As we wind down on events, our team had a chance to visit Frannie Potts mural production at Mimico Square which celebrate the intersection of lakes, rivers, and oceans, and our shared role in protecting and conserving these waters as a community.

The mural is produced as a part of Ocean Week Canada celebrations.

What better way to end than by dancing on it together as a community?

Happy World Environment Day!

We hope you can take some time today to appreciate the natural world around you!

The United Nations started this global celebration in June 1973. Every year, it's a unique theme with a different host country.

For 2026, the focus is on climate action, with Azerbaijan serving as the global host.

This day is an annual reminder to raise awareness about the serious challenges facing our planet and to take meaningful action to protect it.

As this day is also in the middle of Ocean Week, it is a perfect time to reflect on how our everyday choices impact our massive aquatic ecosystems.

You can start taking action against climate change right from your own home. Here are a few ways to make a difference:
- Reduce your overall consumption and waste.
- Maximize energy efficiency in your daily routines.
- Support local organizations working to protect the Earth.

Every small habit contributes to a larger collective impact. Let us use today to recommit to safeguarding our blue planet.

Celebrating the International Day for Biological Diversity!

Biological diversity is the variety of all living things and the ecological patterns that they form. First created in 1993, the International Day for Biological Diversity was made to bring awareness to declining biodiversity, and to try and bring people together to help improve it.

Each year, there is a different theme for the day, to encourage different aspects of biodiversity to be considered. The 2026 theme is acting locally for global impact! Your local biodiversity is the variety of living things in your area and their interactions.

If enough people are encouraged to learn about and help biodiversity in their local area, then the biodiversity around the world will improve tremendously!

Consider doing things like researching species that live in your area, planting native plants, and telling the people you know about what you've learned and how they can help!
