MNR on the Lookout for Pine Beetles

The spread of the pine beetle is on the minds of the Ministry of Natural Resources.

The bug already hurt B.C's forest industry and is making it's way east through Saskatchewan.

Spokesperson Taylor Scarr says it will eventually impact Northwestern Ontario as well.

Scarr says because of the high winds last year the bug flew through Alberta in just one season.
