A thumbs up from the face and voice of the Marco Polo tall ship project to the suggestion by Mayor Mel Norton where the replica should be permanently located.
The Mayor would like to see it close to Market Square with the volleyball pit redesigned.
That's fine and dandy with Barry Ogden who's predicting the Marco Polo will become a big tourist draw and perhaps the most photographed attraction in the province when it's finally up.
The Marco Polo is still in storage on the west side but Ogden tells CHSJ news it's being protected and is in good shape.
