I can confirm seeing them in Ontario as far north as Ottawa as a child. There was one in a pond near my house and I was taught from a young age not to go ANYWHERE close to that sucker.
They are super cool creatures though. What an awesome driveway find!
(and good on you for trying to keep the eggs safe. I just did a quick look up and they're not endangered, but they are listed as vulnerable)
