Police say the search for young girl who fell into a creek near London Saturday morning has become a recovery effort.
The girl, who is under ten, was near the water with two friends when she slipped and fell.
Police say the girl's friends ran to a nearby house to get help.
Provincial Police Constable Chris Hunter says the search is now in recovery mode because of how long it has been since the girl fell in.
"We'd like to keep some optimism but it has been a tremendous amount of time since she went into the water," Hunter said.
The Ontario Provincial Police had to suspend the search Saturday night because of icy conditions.
The water was cold and fast-moving.
Police say the weather conditions have since improved.
The water level was higher than usual due to Saturday's rainfall.
