So much for turtles taking their homes with them wherever they go.
An all-female group of turtles that are homeless after Ontario Place shut down need a new learning centre, Debbie Lightle-Quan reports.
The 10 red-eared slider turtles, ranging in age from three to 33, can't be released to the wild because they are not native to Canada and are too aggressive.
Jamie Carnevale, who was manager of Ontario Place's eco-learning centre, now keeps them in a small metal tub in her backyard. She hopes to find a more suitable home for them.
