The incoming president and CEO of the International Institute for
Social Development says he'd take over the Experimental Lakes Area
in a heartbeat.
There's word the IISD is in negotiations with the federal government for
the transfer of the property east of Kenora.
Peter Kirby from the group Save ELA says the facility is too valuable to

Kirby says talks between the IISD and the federal government are an open secret, but are moving slowly.
