The City of Kitchener has closed part of Stauffer Drive so that a colony of salamanders can cross safely from one side of the street to the other.
Jefferson salamanders, which live in the forests on either side of the road, are protected under Ontario's Endangered Species Act because their populations are in decline across the province.
In Kitchener, the salamanders that live in the Doon South area face one particular threat: traffic.

I don’t think praying will get me some.
I may have to get my self moving and go to the store, instead.

I don’t think that we have any, either. I prefer buying the plain microwave popcorn and then melting butter to pour over it. I usually put a little bit of hot sauce in the butter. After that, I salt it. There’s nothing like freshly made popcorn.

In Canada, and I think in Norway/Sweden they build *crossings* for the critters. Are the signs in English and French?
