Sault loses bid to host national water agency
Sault Ste. Marie’s hopes of hosting the Canada Water Agency were dashed on Tuesday after it was revealed Winnipeg had been awarded the headquarters as part of the federal budget.In June 2021, city council approved the formation of a local task force to explore the opportunity of hosting the federal agency, and it eventually submitted a proposal to be the host city.
Ward 5 councillor Corey Gardi, who helped spearhead the taskforce, congratulated the city of Winnipeg earlier this morning on social media, saying Sault Ste. Marie “would love to lend a hand leading to protect, manage, and preserve the freshwater of the Great Lakes.”“To me, it’s inconceivable not to have a presence in and around the Great Lakes,” he says.
