Join us for our 3rd Annual Turtles on the Move Parade on Saturday April 25, 2026 from 2-4pm.
The parade starts at the High Park main entrance near High Park TTC Station.
Join Turtle Protectors and our neighbours and supporters for a parade through High Park to raise awareness about preventing turtle deaths on Ontario roads. We will be walking with turtle puppets as a reminder for us all to slow down, look for turtles and to help them cross roads in their direction of travel if it is safe to do so.
This year the parade will feature puppets from Shadowland Theatre, Clay & Paper Theatre, Red Pepper Spectacle Arts, and Sun Raven Arts. We will also have music from Indigenous Singers and Drummers and Maracatu Mar Aberto.
Our friends from the Toronto Wildlife Centre will join too, their role in caring for turtles struck by vehicles is critical to supporting local turtle populations.
All are welcome! Bring a homemade turtle puppet, costume and/or sign with words of encouragement for our turtle relatives.
We are also having a puppet creation event at Colborne Lodge Museum on Sunday April 19, 2:00 - 5:00 pm.
