Answer
Cambridge, Ontario?

This is many miles from the Red-ear's native habitat, which only goes as far north as mid-Illinois or Indiana. It will probably be OK... but...

1. Sliders like ponds and lakes instead of rivers. They do not like moving water.

2. Some of the lakes in parks, etc. in most cities have populations of Red-ears that have been released. Give a city park pond a try.

3. Red-ears generally do well when released, but it is safest to release them near people because they tend to pick up illness from people and if you release it in near a real wild population, they can get sick.
