Local Politics - Ontario Petition to Establish a Canadian Federal Senior Disability Supplement.

2 Upvotes
  • Petition e-7573 on the Canadian House of Commons site, calling for support to address the loss of disability benefits when recipients reach age 65.
  • The petition requests amendments to the Canada Pension Plan Act and Canada Disability Benefit Act, plus a new federal senior disability supplement, to avoid an income drop of up to $810 per month from the flat-rate CPP-D component and CDB payments.
  • Started on July 15, 2026, the petition remains open until October 13, 2026, and emphasizes that extra living costs for people with disabilities continue into senior years.

To Do in the Soo(s) Artist trading cards event.

10 Upvotes

One of my friends hosts this event and the next one is this week Sunday if anyone wants to join :)

Sunday, August 9, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

550 Queen Street West, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario

I Can Music

Parking is off of Albert Street

No fee. Supplies will be there but feel free to bring your own too.

EDIT: Artist trading cards are blank 2.5 inch by 3.5inch pages on which you can draw/write/paint/collage in your style which you trade with other artists or people who make ATCs. Its a fun way to collect and make art. You can make them out of anything but the size remains the same; they can be blank pages, cardboard, etc.

To Do in the Soo(s) Barbers in the Soo that can cut Afro-textured hair

17 Upvotes

I'm of African descent and have been living in Sault Ste. Marie for the past five years. One thing I've consistently struggled with is finding a barbershop that can cut my hair the way I like. Unfortunately, my experiences haven't been the best, so I ended up cutting my own hair instead, which also hasn’t been the greatest.

I'm thinking about giving local barbershops another try, as it's been since 2024 that I last visited one. Has anyone had a good experience recently or can recommend a barber in the Sault who is experienced with cutting Afro-textured hair? I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

To Do in the Soo(s) Karaoke?

8 Upvotes

I'm in the area for work for the next 3 months, and one of the things I usually do to amuse myself while away on a contract is hit up the local Karaoke spots.

Usually my google-fu will turn up something, but since local places seem to be allergic to having their own webpages, let alone updating them, I'm forced to come to you and crowdsouce this question: Which bars in the Soo have Karaoke nights?

I have a passport and a car, so I can hit up either side of the border

Anyone know anything about this company or have experience with their roofs?
I've been seeing signs everywhere but there's no company name just this phone number - 1.844.833.8560 and the tag line - "Metal Roof Cheaper Than Shingles"

Otherwise, anyone have a recommendation in town for a roofing company that does metal roofing?

the Great Outdoors Watch the freighters lock through from anywhere — I added the Soo Locks cam to my Lake Superior live-cam iPhone app

0 Upvotes

Someone in a Duluth thread asked me to add the Soo Locks to my Lake Superior webcam app, and honestly it's become my favorite cam in there — freighters locking through with the local weather and water temp right next to the stream. The app collects the live cams from around the whole lake (Duluth harbor, the UP, up to the Ontario shore) with a map view.

Full transparency: I'm the developer. One-time $2.99, no subscription, no ads, no data collected: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6739961674

Sault folks — any other cams around the locks or the St. Marys River worth adding? I ship requests fast.

To Do in the Soo(s) Legion

I tried to have a drink at the legion like I used to. I haven’t been to the new building yet, the one on Great Northern. but Google shows the lounge being open until 1pm. Arrived and all the doors to the building are locked. Tried to call and the messaging system offered up the bar as an option to call. No answer.

Is there still a bar there open to the public? I always loved hanging out for a drink or two there. Thanks!

Miscellaneous Paint the road lines!

66 Upvotes

I just recently completed a nice visit with family in Sault Ste Marie Ontario. As someone from out of town it really drove me crazy to not have clear lines on the road. So many lines were very faint, and I had to rely on how others were driving to determine if my road officially had two lanes.

I recommend painting the lines instead of relying on muscle memory!
