On behalf of City Council and the community of Sault Ste. Marie, I am delighted to welcome you to the City of Sault Ste. Marie website.
Our community was incorporated as a City in 1912, although the rich history of the Sault dates back to the 1600's. With an ethnically diverse history, we take pride in our past - which is shown in our buildings, streets, landmarks, museums, and parks. Since the city's establishment, it has produced a number of leaders in business, science, sport and arts.
Situated at the hub of the Great Lakes along the banks of the St. Marys River, our city is an international port of entry to the United States. We pride ourselves on the unique charm of the community and are known as being the "Friendliest City in Algoma" and we are privileged with various cultural institutions to appease the interests of any visitor or resident.
To our residents, I am proud to serve you as Mayor and I, along with members of City Council, are committed to maintaining a high quality of life for our citizens and providing a safe, clean, and productive community.
For visitors to Sault Ste. Marie, we encourage you to experience our many amenities, outdoor activities, and cultural institutions. Our city offers wonderful tourist destinations for people to visit during every season.
Join us to find out why Sault Ste. Marie is one of the most beautiful and exciting northern cities in Canada!
Matthew Shoemaker
Mayor, City of Sault Ste. Marie
