It doesn't appear Atikokan will be getting the Centennial Canoe.
The Neebing Voyageur Brigade in Thunder Bay is in control of it and it's spokesperson Bob Slusar doesn't believe his fellow members will agree to let it go.
Atikokan Mayor Dennis Brown made an impassioned plea to Thunder Bay council last night to have to canoe moved his community for display.
The canoe was used by an Ontario team of paddlers, four from Atikokan, that competed in a cross-country race commemorating Canada's 100th birthday in 1967.
