OTCC has about 40 First Responders through the province – these are primarily veterinarians who donate their time to help us ensure turtles across the province get timely emergency care before being transferred to OTCC. We provide any training necessary, and any equipment/supplies needed. We don’t advertise the names of these first responders or the clinics, since their availability will change depending on the day, time, and staff that is present. All calls must go through our Hotline staff at 705-741-5000, who then arranges which first responder would be available to take an injured turtle on that particular day.
