| Centennial Voyageur Canoe Race 1967 |
The canoe was used as part of a cross-country paddle involving teams representing other provinces and territories in 1967.
It's currently being stored under a tarp at the Fort William Historical Park in Thunder Bay.
Atikokan Mayor Dennis Brown says it deserves a place in his community given that four of the ten paddlers for the Ontario team were from Atikokan.
A contingent will be pressing its case before Thunder Bay city council tonight.
