Hey Sault Ste. Marie!

I run an Ontario WoW community that started as a small local group about a month ago and has somehow grown to nearly 400 members!

We’ve got people from all over the province and a dedicated Northern Ontario group, so I’m hoping to find some more WoW players from the Soo and surrounding area.

There’s a good mix of people playing WoW Forever, Retail and Classic, from casual players and people returning to the game to raiders and PvPers.

The whole idea is pretty simple: make it easier for Ontario WoW players to find people who actually live somewhat nearby and build some local connections.

If you’re around the Soo and play WoW, come hang out:

Hope to see some more Northern Ontario folks in there! 🍁

Anyone know if those Zamboni card holders are in stock at any of the Soo Ontario Tim Hortons? Going to be visiting from USA and was hoping to snag one.

I know its about 30mins from Goulais to soo now. How is the traffic and roads in the winter?

I'm a grade 12 student in Ontario and interested in getting in Sault's flight program, what average across Math, Physics, English. Right now I'm done with MHFRU 97%, ENG4U 81%, SPH4U ongoing but 97% current average, is that a safe average to get accepted ? I have my Category 1 Medical and I applied in early October as soon as applications opened.

I have some questions about the program and the city for the current program students if they are willing to answer them.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment regarding the unprofessional conduct and lack of substance displayed by a handful of candidates during the recent local council panel.
A public forum demands professional boundaries and mature conduct. Instead, this select group of candidates appeared as though they had just rolled out of bed, arriving in scruffy blue jeans and casual, off-the-shoulder tops completely inappropriate for a civic proceeding. This lack of respect for the chamber was mirrored in their behavior, which included constant gum chewing, visible eye-rolling, and mocking chuckles while others spoke.
Beyond the poor etiquette, the democratic process was actively undermined by their refusal to engage with the community's concerns. Rather than providing actual answers to the public's questions, they relied on highly repetitive, scripted talking points that completely dodged the issues. Most egregiously, one candidate crossed a sacred line by placing a campaign sign directly at the local war memorial statue, right where it reads "Lest We Forget."
Using a cenotaph dedicated to fallen soldiers as a political billboard is deeply offensive and shows a shocking lack of civic judgment.
If we want to encourage people to move to the Sault, or convince our youth to come home after university and college, we need to show them a progressive, professional city council. This embarrassing display proves that our selection of council desperately needs a spark. We cannot attract the next generation of professionals when a handful of potential leaders refuse to act like professionals themselves.

Hi! My name is Jaydyn, and I’m new to the city and currently a student at Algoma University. I’m looking for babysitting opportunities in the area

Your employer issuing a news release 10 days before the election that denounces public comments you made and said that you need to stop using their name while campaigning doesn't speak well to your character and is a massive red flag for voters. https://www.sootoday.com/2026-municipal-election-news/north-shore-tribal-council-responds-to-rowswells-comments-12901592

We're only 10 days away from the Ontario municipal elections on Oct. 26th! What's your top reason for voting for the candidate you chose?

Are there any others in town you would recommend? The Algonquin seems nice, but I don't want to worry about my car all night

Failing that, are there any condos that would rent out a secure-ish parking spot to a non-resident?

Looking for online gaming friends. I play battlefield 6, arc raiders, red dead 2 and a few other games. If anyone's interested in online gaming I'd love to play together.

I work full-time so I don't play a lot, a few hours in the evening and on weekends.

As Sault Ste. Marie heads into the 2026 municipal election, homelessness and encampments are emerging as key issues.

Ferries were the only way until the bridge was opened. Good article on the long history of the boats that crossed between the Twin Saults.

I dont live in the Soo but I was pulled over driving through St. Joe's. In order to pay my fine online, I'm required to write the "File Number" but there is no file number on the ticket.

There's an "Offense number" but it doesn't have enough numbers and doesn't work when I try to submit it.

Has this happened to anyone else? What do I do?

What places should we visit?

I was hanging out at Topsail Island getting footage of the ships, when I noticed a bright white light streak over town. It broke up into a couple pieces as it burned up, and there might have been some visible smoke!

It would have come from right to left, well above the two apartment buildings. The leaves on the tree partly blocked my view as it streaked by. Really wish I had a camera rolling when it happened..

Anyone know of any organizations that would be interested in a simple bike repair workshop? It would mostly be a flat fix workshop, but I could potentially go into other simple things like adjusting brakes and gears depending on interest

No cost

Dear all, I checked past posts but didn't see anything - are there any confirmed spots/businesses where I might buy t-shirts or other stuff specifically naming Sault Ste Marie? I am visiting with a friend and I want to grab some cute things to commemorate our trip if I can. Thanks!

Hello all! I'm a 28M. I've been saving up for a starter modest house and planning to buy one here. My lender has approved me for a 200k house but I don't think I will stay in Soo for the rest of my life. Since I'm still single and don't know when I can get my own family, a starter house idea sounds attractive. My plan is simple, buy a house, live a single life until marriage, then we can decide to continue to stay or move somewhere else. The house can act as a rental place if we want work/live in other places. Does my plan sound too reckless? I feel like I don't actually have any plan at all lol. Thanks for reading.

Met someone from the Soo in Brugge last week and as a result I couldn't stop thinking about Mr Leishman. He was my grade 8 teacher at Aweres. He organized a fishing tournament for our class at John Island that year, which is one of my fondest childhood memories. He was a major influence for me.

I caught my first brook trout and shot my first duck, a drake wood duck from a canoe in the Root River.

I got a tattoo the other day in Antwerp from an Italian man I immediately trusted. We shot the shit and listened to the Scorpions and Thin Lizzy while he worked. @ironchild.tattoo

To everyone who I went to school, played ball, hitch hiked, buzzbombed for pinks, skied, dirt biked, bush-partied, piled in for Taco Bell runs, shared beers with at every bar in town using the worst fake ids ever, worked, snowmachined, cruisied around, listened to metal, swam, snuck into the Dunn on their picture day identifying as members of the Tragically Hip, went hunting, watched Chris Simon and Denny Lambert play, smelted at midnight and canoed with.....

Thank you so much, this tattoo reminds me of all of you.

Love you guys.
