The history of Sault Ste Marie has always been intertwined with the rapids. The narrative of its industrial past, livelihood, and workforce initiates with the whitefish, transitions to the fur trading dynasties, the colossal industry founded by Francis Clergue, and today’s canals function as arteries for the Great Lakes commerce.
