At Canadian Forces Base Suffield wildlife area, Maj. Dan Davies says the elk reintroduction is going well and 60 more Rocky Mountain elk will be supplied by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. The project, started last year with 129 animals, aims to create a native population in the sensitive reserve managed with Environment Canada and Canadian Wildlife Service oversight.
