Pat Mick Joins Sault Ste. Marie City Council as New Representative

Pat Mick has officially joined the Sault Ste. Marie City Council, representing Ward 3. This significant appointment comes after a decade of service as a trustee for the Algoma District School Board. Mick’s experience in education and local governance is expected to enhance the council’s focus on community development and educational initiatives.

Community Developments and Historical Context

On the same date, November 22, 2000, a historical inspection of the ore carrier Edmund Fitzgerald revealed it was in satisfactory condition, although some minor damage was noted in the hatch girders. This ship has been a significant part of the region’s maritime history.

In a related community development, East Korah United Church announced plans to construct a superstructure on its existing basement, which has served as a place of worship since its establishment in 1961. This initiative reflects the church’s commitment to expanding its facilities to better serve the community.

Meanwhile, the Sault Separate School Board faces changes as three members—M. Lee, J. Scarfone, and W. Ross—have decided not to seek re-election. Conversely, L.J. McLean, E. DeCourcy, and H. Soltys will run for another term, indicating continuity in leadership amid the shifts.

Tributes and New Beginnings

The community mourns the loss of businessman F.A. Denman, who passed away today at the age of 46. Denman served on the council board and held various positions of trust within the community, contributing significantly to local governance and civic life.

In a cultural development, the Soo and Steelton Choral Union was organized at a public meeting at St. Luke’s Hall. The new group includes prominent members such as Mrs. Oswald Davies and Mr. A.W. Lawrence, with Mr. C.J. Ferguson as the leader and Mr. J.D. Gordon as the accompanist. This initiative aims to promote local music and engage the community through choral performances.

As Sault Ste. Marie continues to evolve, the contributions of individuals like Pat Mick and the collective efforts of community organizations play a crucial role in shaping the future of the area.
