Owner of Pipefusion Services Inc., Jan Nyquist, asked Huntsville council to reclaim ownership of Pipe Man. A public forum was to be scheduled to get input from the public alternate locations for the industrial piece of art. However, Nyquist said at council, on Dec. 19, that he, his staff and Pipe Man's artist (Beverley Hawksley) have no wish to go to a public form and believe there is no other suitable location for Pipe Man. 

Crews from Pipefusion have removed the controversial piece of art from the Muskoka River at the Huntsville Town Dock on Oct. 26.

Huntsville council has defeated a motion to move Pipe Man. Pipe Man was donated to the town by Pipefusion in November 2016. Since then the industrial piece of art has caused controversy over whether or not the location is the right one. The town even issued a survey to get public input. It was a split vote, which was broken by Mayor Scott Aitchison.
