It’s #mooseontheloose, Day 2.
The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) will continue it’s search Saturday for a moose that has been running around several residential neighbourhoods in Markham.
The search was suspended Friday night as officials work on a plan to capture the animal safely on Saturday. The MNR may look into tranquilizing the moose before moving it back north or take the wait-and-see approach to let it find it’s own way back.
York regional police and animal services began tracking the 800 pound moose on Friday morning at around 7 a.m. when it wandered close to Buttonville Airport.
It was last seen in a green space near the 16th Avenue and Kennedy road area around 3 p.m.
No injuries have been reported.
