Success Stories

Turtle Rock Preserve

Thanks to the very generous donations to the Land Protection Account, in February of 2024, TKC was able to purchase Turtle Rock, as well as fund its long-term stewardship. Turtle Rock Preserve is a 3.1 hectare property with 168 metres of undeveloped shoreline along Quebec Bay. This property was named Turtle Rock by its previous owners, as the shape of the peninsula gracefully curves like the back of a majestic turtle rising from the water. It offers scenic views of the St. Joseph Island Bridge to the south and the Wilson Channel to the east.
