Spring Economic Luncheon

"State of the Community"

On Thursday May 3rd the Sault Area Chamber of Commerce hosted the 2018 Spring Economic Luncheon at Lake Superior State University's Superior Room. The delicious Luncheon was catered by LSSU catering and a fantastic job was done by them.  Thank You to all the staff at LSSU catering for a hands down superb job.  Also, a big Thank You goes out to our speakers, Chris Olsen from the Chippewa County EDC, Dr. Peter Mitchell and Dr. Ashley Moerke from Lake Superior State University, and Rory Ring of the Sault Ste Marie Ontario Chamber of Commerce.  All the speakers had very interesting information about our community and surrounding areas to share with our luncheon guests.  We here at the Chamber would also like to thank all of our Sponsors of the luncheon as well as everyone who bought tickets!  Without all of YOU these luncheons would not be possible, so THANK YOU!

Student Citizen Award  Scholarship

Congratulations Matt Knowles!

Every year The Sault Area Chamber of Commerce sends out information on the Student Citizen Scholarship to High Schools in Sault Ste Marie and Surrounding Areas.  The Student Citizen Scholarship is for $1,000 and is composed from (4) $250 sponsors.  This year the sponsors were Soo Co-Op Credit Union, Old Mission Bank, Parker's Ace Hardware, and Central Savings Bank.  The High School Seniors send their application to the Chamber of Commerce and the winner is chosen by the Sault Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Executive Committee.  If the Senior chosen is planning to attend Lake Superior State University than the college adds another $1,000 to the scholarship by deducting the additional $1,000 off their tuition for their first semester.  This year the Chamber Executive Committee read over several scholarship applications, all of which had very good candidates but in the end it was Matt Knowles's Application that met the most requirements and stood out the most.  Congratulations Matt!
