    Eastern Arctic Patrol

    In the 1920s, the Canadian government attempted to assert its sovereignty in the High Eastern Arctic by establishing Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) posts. Eastern Arctic Patrols were annual summer expeditions by ship to set up and resupply these detachments. From 1922 to 1968, the patrol transported police, geologists, scientists, medical professionals and government officials north, bringing supplies and medical services to Eastern Arctic communities. The last patrol ship, CD Howe, was also used to relocate people from northern Quebec (Nunavik) to remote High Arctic locations for sovereignty purposes. (See Inuit High Arctic Relocations in Canada.)

    Eastern Boxelder Bug

    The Eastern boxelder bug (Boisea trivittata) is a species of true bug (Hemiptera) in the family Rhopalidae. Native to Eastern North America, these insects are associated with the Manitoba maple tree (Acer negundo), also known as the box elder tree, from which they derive their common name. Although they pose no threat to humans or pets, Eastern boxelder bugs can become a nuisance when they gather in large numbers, mainly when they congregate indoors as they seek shelter for the winter. The Eastern boxelder bug is very similar to the Western boxelder bug (Boisea rubrolineata), which is found west of the Rocky Mountains in Canada.

    Eastern Foxsnake

    The Eastern foxsnake (Pantherophis vulpinus) is a large, non-venomous snake native to the Great Lakes region of North America. Their Canadian range is limited to Southern Ontario in two distinct populations: the Georgian Bay population and the Carolinian population in extreme southwestern Ontario.

(See also Snake Species in Canada.)

    Eastern Hog-Nosed Snake

    The Eastern hog-nosed snake (Heterodon platirhinos) is a medium-sized snake with an upturned scale on the end of its snout. The scale gives the snake a pig- or hog-like appearance. In Canada, Eastern hog-nosed snakes are found in Southern Ontario south of the Canadian Shield. They are also found in the Eastern United States as far south as Florida and Texas. The Eastern hog-nosed snake is well-known for its elaborate defensive display: first, the snake flattens its neck into a cobra-like hood, and if that does not deter predators, it flips onto its back and plays dead. (See also Snake Species in Canada.)

    Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake

    The Eastern massasauga (Sistrurus catenatus) is a relatively small rattlesnake that is native to the Great Lakes region of eastern North America. It is one of three rattlesnake species found in Canada (a fourth is extirpated). Its Canadian distribution is restricted to several small, disjunct areas in southern Ontario. The massasauga has disappeared from much of its historical range. Populations continue to decline due to ongoing threats, including habitat loss, deaths on roads and intentional persecution from humans.
