We spotted this turtle laying eggs at Trent University near the Athletic Centre this morning.

Peterborough Police tweeted out this reminder to the public to watch for the turtles on the shoulders of roads...

Noticed a ton of turtles laying eggs on the shoulder of the roads this morning. Please keep this in mind when driving in rural areas *JB
