Found an injured animal? First, "do no harm"; if a baby animal seems lost, its parent may be nearby, and you may be scaring the parent off. How to decide? If so, contact one of these rehabilitators (called 'wildlife custodian' in Ontario Government speak):

Speaking of turtles: Nesting? Don’t interfere. Don’t try to "salvage" the eggs. (Both those acts are seriously illegal without proper permits; call Scales or OTCC to get them to do so). If it’s on your property, you can put up a nest protector; see https://ontarioturtle.ca/get-involved/turtle-nests-and-nest-protection/. If really interested in Turtles, consider taking basic training; such as that from START at https://www.scalesnaturepark.ca/community-volunteer-training.
Let’s keep nature for all future generations to enjoy!
