It’s a day we have all been patiently waiting for! Engineers Day is making a triumphant return this summer, albeit in a “re-engineered” format. In partnership with the City of Sault Ste. Marie and the United States Army Corps of Engineers, we are ecstatic to help put on this special event.

Join us on June 25, for a day full of celebration and amazement. Beginning at 9 a.m., a section of West Portage Avenue in between Ferris Street and Gov. Osbourne Boulevard will be closed off to traffic until 6 p.m. We’re looking forward to having over 30 vendors on the street offering water safety information, info on area attractions and a platform for area merchants.

The Soo Locks Park and observation deck will both be open from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m.

This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are a few precautions being taken for the safety of everyone (including Corps employees and workers on freighters.) As a reminder, masks are required to enter the Soo Locks Visitor Center, any indoor stores, restaurants, hotels, and outdoor areas if physical distancing cannot be met to keep workers and visitors safe. Please be patient, be kind and be safe. The City, Corps and CVB can’t wait to have you attend Engineers Day Re-Engineered.
