🌿 While #RougeNUP was established in 2015, Indigenous communities have stewarded this land since time immemorial. For centuries, they used historic travel paths for many purposes such as sending messages and for protection. #RNUP10

Why did the turtle cross the road?🐢Because turtle nesting season is here, of course! 💚 Female turtles are crossing roads to find the perfect spot to nest. Help us keep them safe by driving carefully and reporting injured turtles to PC Dispatch: 1-877-852-3100. 📷Gary James

June is the month of the strawberry moon (Ojibwe: Ode’imini-giizis)🍓For many Indigenous peoples, the strawberry teaches us stories of reconciliation and new life. During #NIHM2025, we reflect on the enduring connection Indigenous peoples have with the land we now call #RougeNUP.
