Made a modification when I was younger - long story - but my car requires 93 or higher. I can't find any North of Sudbury and trying to avoid taking 50L of jerry cans to go to Wawa and back.

Edit: for anyone who comes across this, as of Sep 2026, no one in the soo has anything higher than 91 (I called every Petro and Esso). The Esso in Thessalon (link) has it. Thanks to /u/Forsaken-Bandicoot-2

I'm moving to the soo in the next couple weeks 29F. Wondering what the music scene and social scene is like?

Hi guys,

My partner and I are considering relocating to the Soo next year. I'm an avid gardener (putting it mildly) and I'm somewhat concerned about the gardening season there.

Any gardeners out there who could shed some light on what it's like to garden in Sault Ste Marie?

When do tulips usually start blooming? When do the leaves start falling? I would like to grow food as well, but my understanding is that the season is basically just July and August.

Are shrub/perennial gardens sort of more successful? When can you plant out annuals?

I'm looking for any and all gardening information people are willing to share.

I am currently living in a zone 6 with intense hot summers, often with watering restrictions. Climate here is great, but the wildfire smoke every year is just too much. Plus, I'm in a semi-arid landscape and I need to get back to leafy green trees and fall colours.

I'm nervous about trading a season where I can essentially garden for 7 months a year for one where I'm only outside doing garden things for 2 months.

Looking for any and all tidbits people are willing to share.

Hey, I'm moving in a few days or so to Sault Ste Marie, Ontario from Ottawa, Ontario. And was curious if anyone knows is it easy or anything to get adjusted to moving to that city after living in Ottawa their whole life? Any recommendations on things to check out? Any places to recommend to look for a job at? Does groceries and bills cost way more or less compared to Ottawa? And any pros or cons, I would need to know about?

Thanks in advance :)

Have a great day today 💕

Thinking of getting a house in one of these areas. Trying to avoid zombies.

1. A place close to the University so i can rent out the basement?

2. Heyden?

3. Carpin Beach cottages?

What would you choose??? Safety and theft is my major concern

Hello everyone. Some of you may be bored and looking for something to do.

I've been thinking about it for a while and I'd like to start up a super casual Magic the Gathering group, or potentially D&D, or both. MtG will be budget brews only (less than 100 USD). If you have always wanted to try MtG but haven't, this is for you. I've taught my wife to play, and my grandma. I can teach anyone.

This will be very casual, with no set schedule once every few weeks at my home (central location). I've done a board game group before (and I have some good board games too), but I had it at Games Nook 2 every time and it's just too much to haul the board games there and wrap everything up before 6 pm.

If you're interested, post here, DM me. I'm a 35/m and my wife will potentially join too, though I don't think she's keen on D&D.

With only 19 cards left in the deck, we are rolling into Week #33!

Hi everyone,

I am new to drone life and just recently bought a starter drone. I want to be able to play around and get comfortable with it. I downloaded the NAV Drone app and added my drone's specs. Everywhere I click says "not allowed" for flying. I know I obviously can't fly around the locks, border, and hospital. Even up the 17N, it says "not allowed".

My drone is <25g.

Does anyone here know where I can go to play around with it a bit? I thought maybe Strathclair/Sinclair field would be safe but I'm not sure. All the other posts I've read on here are over three years old. Thanks!

On this #ThankfulThursday, we want to thank our supporters, like Week #32 Winner Joanne, who have helped grow the progressive #CatchTheAce Jackpot to $7894.50+ and walked away with $420 from the weekly pot this week!

UPDATE: PASSED AND INSTRUCTOR SAID I HAD THE BEST LANE CHANGES THEY HAD EVER SEEN
I have my G road test tomorrow, does anyone know the route I’ll be taking since there’s construction on the highway? I’ve been practicing different routes I’ve seen online but I’m not sure if they will take me the same way due to the construction.
Also does anyone have any tips or things I should pay attention to?
I’ve been practicing reverse parking and parallel parking because I’ve heard some people say this was on the test and some people say it was not.
Also with lane changes, I know that usually they do them on the highway, but in my situation, would they just have me do it on that one road leading up to the highway?
Thanks guys😭🙏

Any advice on the best places to get it done?
Problems with wheel bearings and lots of other issues, I want someone that can spot all of the problems and just fix it all.

My wife and I run a tutoring business: The Tutoring Agency in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario.

We have both been tutoring since about 2005, as a business since 2013.

We can help math and the sciences for high school level and first year post secondary.

All local high schools know about us and will occasionally refer students to us, though for some reason we get almost no students from White Pines. Lots from the other schools though.

Hello! CBC Sudbury is asking voters in the region about their top issues this upcoming municipal election. If you’re interested in helping guide election coverage:

Bonjour . Im currently going into my senior year of high school in bc . I was wondering about if I could get accepted considering that it’s a program subsidized by Ontario.

I’m also wondering about the importance of grades . I got 94% pre calc 11 . But 74% on physics 11 due to a horrendous teacher where more than half the class failed and 6 dropped out . Should I hold off on applications till I improve my grade 12 grades and use that to apply ?

Hello Hello!

I’m moving back home to The Soo next month, which feels a little surreal, and I’m reaching out to see if any local businesses or organizations, even individuals, need some help with marketing, branding, content creation etc etc.

I excel in areas such as:

• Website design or redesigns
• SEO / helping your website actually get found on Google
• Social media and content creation & branding
• Google Business Profile setup/optimization
• Photography and events

I’m especially hoping to work with small businesses, nonprofits and local organizations around Sault Ste. Marie and Northern Ontario. I’m keeping my pricing pretty accessible too, especially while I continue growing my portfolio.

So if your website has been sitting on the “I really need to fix that” list forever, you’re not showing up in search, or you just don’t have the time to deal with your marketing, feel free to message me. I’m always happy to take a look at what you have and give you some ideas before you commit to anything!

Would genuinely love to meet and work with some local people when I’m back home. 🥹

I can DM or email you my portfolio as well for references. :) Thank you!

Mods feel free to delete this if it’s not appropriate, but I wanted to get a sense of other people in the community about the statement released by Mark Carney yesterday regarding trade agreements with the US. The Sault has obviously suffered a lot because of the tariffs, and while I think what Carney did was wise, I worry about our city and what the US might do to retaliate further.

Does anybody know when it’s open? I went there today in the station mall because the guy said the 20th but maybe they are running behind? They look very close to opening though, was just curious if anybody knew a date? 😅 I’m just really excited lol

Hey! Im a guy who just recently moved to the Sault and I'm looking to get a little more involved and meet some new people. I've never really been much of a sporty person, but I'd love to get out and try something new

I was wondering if there are any groups or people who play volleyball, pickleball, or really any sport just for fun. I'm mainly looking to get out, meet some people, and have a good time. Preferably looking for a younger group around 19-25, but I'm open to anything!
If you know of any groups or are looking for someone to join, feel free to message me! Maybe could make a gc on snap :)

Hey everyone,

I'm a software engineer based here in Sault Ste. Marie, currently looking for my next role and hoping to connect with people in the local tech scene.

Quick background: 7+ years of experience, mostly backend and security work. I also spent a year as a research and teaching assistant at Algoma U, so I know a few faces around town already.

I'm open to local roles or remote work with local companies anything from backend/security engineering to cloud infrastructure. If your company is hiring, you know of teams in town doing interesting technical work, or you're in tech here and just want to grab a coffee and talk shop, I'd love to hear from you. Happy to share my resume by DM.

Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a company who can help move the contents of an apartment into a U-Haul truck? I need 2 people for a couple of hours. I have contacted a couple of companies but haven’t had much luck. TIA.

I'm doing a bit of a road trip between Saskatoon and Toronto and so I will be stopping in Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, and the Sault. I'll have my dog with me so I'm looking for some recommended places to do a couple hour long walks. We walk all kinds of areas like parks, older neighbourhoods, wooded areas, or shop-lined streets. I could also use some recommendations for local restaurants for dinner and breakfast (extra points for a spot where I can grab breakfast while on our walk!) Thanks!

Hi looking to see what the best motel is to stay in. Looking at staying two nights in either Trunk Road Motel or Adam’s motel. Any recommendations or info would be greatly appreciated. We have stayed in the Motel 6 but is sold out for the two days we need.
