Lake Temagami Water Levels (June 22-28, 2022)

One of the biggest threats facing loons today is lead poisoning from swallowing lead fishing tackle.

Lead is a neurotoxin that is very harmful to all living things. Toxic lead fishing tackle can accumulate in the environment, where it is responsible for the deaths of millions of birds and other wildlife.

This neurotoxin attacks the nervous system and can lead to blindness, decreased reproductivity, seizures, and death. Lead poisoning causes tremendous suffering, as loons (and eagles, swans, and other wildlife) deteriorate slowly and painfully over the course of one to three weeks.

Fishing tackle is the sole cause for at least 50% of loon mortality in some areas.

The solution is simple. Don’t use lead fishing tackle!!

A TLA member kindly mentioned that it’s a good idea to bring paper copies of all documents that you upload to the ArriveCAN system (e.g., vaccination certificates, etc.), as border agents cannot always read the electronic versions of these documents.

Anyone entering Canada from the United States (or other locations) must use ArriveCAN to provide mandatory travel information before and after your arrival in Canada: www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/arrivecan.html

ArriveCAN is free and secure, and is available for iOS and Android, and via the web.
