Wood Turtle
The Wood turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) is an ornate, medium-sized freshwater turtle native to eastern North America. Wood turtles are the most terrestrial freshwater turtle species in Canada. Although they depend on rivers for hibernation, they spend much of the spring, summer and fall in the surrounding terrestrial habitats. This semiterrestrial lifestyle means they are especially vulnerable to threats such as mortality on roads, forestry operations and illegal collection. It is a species at risk throughout its Canadian range.

Woodward and Evans Light Bulb
In 1874, Canadians Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans patented a design for an incandescent light bulb. Their invention preceded that of American Thomas Edison by several years. In fact, the second patent (issued in 1876 in the United States) was among those that Edison bought as he refined the technology to create a longer-lasting bulb. Woodward and Evans’s early work on the light bulb in Toronto has gone largely unrecognized. It was nevertheless an important development in the invention of electric lighting.
