"It's true," Mr. Sarazin admits, "It takes four hands to make a canoe." Mr. and Mrs. Sarazin are among several native artisans and crafts people living on the Algonquin reserve, near Golden Lake.

First time building a birch bark canoe without Stanley Sarazin physically, but they continue his work, in his memory and in pride of his legacy.
Stanley past October 27, 2006 but left many memories to his children and a legacy to his people. His family will hopefully continue his work of canoe building and pass on the knowledge down to his grand children.
