Sault Ste Marie OPP and the staff of Pancake Bay Provincial Park would like your help getting their roadside sign back.

Sometime over the weekend thieves stole the plexi glass sign at the entrance to the park.

The sign was encased in a steel frame.

The sign depicts a voyager in a freighter canoe.

The sign sports the usual green-and-white colours of the provincial park.

The sign measures about five feet across and about four feet high.

Does someone you know have a new addition to their garage or rec room wall?

Call the OPP or Crime Stoppers and we will get the sign back on display at the entrance to the park.
