FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY
* Quiet year ahead for Sault Ste. Marie as a whole – status quo in many areas, not a lot of change
* Another major lottery winner, likely in the $3-4million dollar range
* Local arts & creative scene will be very active in 2024. Possibility of Sault Ste. Marie being considered as the location of a major motion picture. Well-known female actress (who has ‘heard’ of the Sault but has no ties to the city) will visit
* A popular Canadian name will make Sault Ste. Marie their home, contributing to the already vibrant local music & arts community
* A well-known local in the theatre scene will have a work published
* Sault Ste. Marie will receive news of being chosen to host a major sporting event
* Residents and the community as a whole have suffered enough loss & heartbreak due to the drug problem & social issues in Sault Ste. Marie. A solution, one that may not be popular & is being discussed behind closed doors, needs to be brought forward
* A financial relationship between the city & an investor will fall apart. A legal battle will ensue. The City will be successful & learn from this, leading to new ideas on managing business partnerships. Assistance may come from someone formerly associated with City Hall.
* The city will “adopt” a beloved animal that continues to hang around & becomes quite a sensation with the public
* Very, very active year for Algoma Steel. The local manufacturer will experience four delays with a major project, likely in January, May, August, & October. These delays are insignificant in the final & successful outcome.
* Two females will be appointed to senior roles at Algoma Steel
* Substantial profit-sharing payouts for ASI employees in 2024
* Municipal, provincial and federal governments will come together to remove a roadblock that is delaying the progress of a major project. Partisan politics will be set aside for the good of the community
* A person, external to Algoma Steel and who is trying to hold ‘intellectual property’ for ransom, will attempt to cash in. This will be resolved in ASI’s favour by a very strong company leader who will not tolerate the tactics.
*In May, a key international political leader will leave their position due to health reasons, likely exhaustion. This will be temporary.
What will happen with the Pino intersection on Great Northern Road?
Predictions are as dumb as New Years resolutions.
