“Sault Ste Marie is one of the industrial giants of Canada - a leading center of manufacturing, shipping and hydro power.  This development began almost a century ago in a small area which now lies beneath the span of the International Bridge. The area includes historic mills, powerhouses, engineering works and a canal and lock system.

A place of living history and one of Canada’s national historic parks, it retains its significance in the economic fabric of the country. Discover the industrial heritage of the Sault through this booklet which provides a self-guided walking tour of St. Mary’s Island and the adjacent mainland.”
