The Lake of the Woods Elk Restoration Committee is looking to increase the number of Elk in northwestern Ontario.
Committee co-chair Murray English says they're asking the Ministry of Natural Resources to move some of the Elk from the Bancroft area in southwestern Ontario.
"Our preference would still be out on the Aulneau Peninsula (on Lake of the Woods)," says English. "That depends on ice conditions to get them out there."
Only 39 of the over one hundred elk released about a decade ago in the Cameron Lake area near Nestor Falls are believed to be still alive.
