Sault Ste. Marie city council is considering a motion that would see a giant Canadian flag, potentially as large as 100 feet, erected along the waterfront near the International Bridge connecting Canada and the United States.
Motion Details
The motion, introduced by Coun. Corey Gardi, directs city staff to study the feasibility, cost, and location for a large-scale flag in the boardwalk area. The proposed flag would be visible from the bridge and downtown, serving as a landmark for residents and visitors crossing the border.
Community Impact
Supporters argue the flag would boost national pride and tourism. The city has not yet specified a timeline for the study or potential installation. No cost estimate has been provided.
According to Gardi, the flag would be a symbol of Canadian identity at a key entry point. The motion is expected to be debated at an upcoming council meeting.
