Save ELA feels their efforts have been paying off with the government.
Peter Kirby who Organized the forum in Kenora last night says that the government has already shown some willingness to change their stance on the facility.
Kirby says he is hopeful that the government is sincere in their claim to find a new ownership group for the facility.
He adds that the public should continue to pressure their government by continuing to write letters to members of legislature and parliament.
Just over 100 people attended the forum held at Knox United Church.
