The movie’s description on YouTube says “Wellington County”, but I think those pictures are just Elora. Maybe the animals are somewhere else in the County? Nice slideshow, though.

Visitors beware. The Elora Quarry is either not open yet, or they don’t open on Sundays – I don’t know. But it does attract visitors already nevertheless.
