Elk Doing Well In Winter

The harsh winter conditions aren't expected to affect the elk population in northwestern Ontario.

Elk were released in
the Cameron Lake area near Nestor Falls about 15 years ago.

Co-chair of the Elk Restoration Committee Murray English says the animals are pretty well adapted to surviving deep snow.

English says the elk population ranges between 40 to 50 animals, but they are seeing more calves each year.
