Lids Off for Wildlife
You can help keep wildlife safe! Print off the poster and ask local
restaurants, coffee shops, and community centres to display it. If you can't use a reusable cup, make sure to remove and cut your lid, wash and flatten the cup, pick up any litter you see around trash cans and in public spaces, and spread the word to help Ottawa's urban wildlife! A bilingual poster is available here. |

Animal of the MonthMeet some of Ottawa's common urban wildlife by using our self-developed animal fact posters, featuring animals who were rehabilitated at the OCWC! These free posters are great for classrooms case studies and lesson plans, community groups, and individuals who want to learn more about native species in our area and how to live in harmony with them. When we understand each species' needs and behaviour, we can work to better co-exist with them.
