Boozho. Bienvenue. Welcome.
Join us in realizing Sault Ste. Marie's full potential
FutureSSM is implementing our community's collective vision to build a great city where people want to live, visit and do business.
In today's world of a mobile work force, the best community development strategy is to create a higher quality of life to attract new residents and businesses. FutureSSM's team is working alongside community members to fulfill and build upon the recommendations laid out in the Community Adjustment Committee Report, A Common Cause and New Direction for Sault Ste. Marie. Recommendations that include building our skilled labour force, addressing social inequities, celebrating our arts & culture, growing our post-secondary institutions, advancing Indigenous relationships, revitalizing our downtown and welcoming newcomers.
We know through best practices that the only way to reach our true potential is to take a holistic four pillar approach to supporting community resilience. Focusing on these four pillars will allow us to achieve our goals. We will invest in our people. We will celebrate our place. We will create prosperity.
