An Atikokan firm is about to get a big bigger, thanks to the provincial government.

Souris River Canoes will use a $166 thousand loan from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund to expand its production facility and adopt green energy technology.

The company says the money will allow it to grow its workforce from 7 to ten employees and increase its annual production from 500 to 750 canoes.
