Transportation

Commuting

With average commute times being around 10 minutes, saving money on gas (not to mention more regular vehicle maintenance) is another major plus of avoiding hours on the highway each day. According to Pembina Institute, Sault Ste. Marie ranked second in Ontario for shortest distance from home to work.

Air travel

Sault Ste. Marie is also a hub for transportation – rail, highway, marine and air. An international airport with multiple choices of airlines, and direct access to the trans-Canada highway means you can get anywhere from here.

A quick, one-hour flight is all it takes to get to Toronto for a work meeting or weekend getaway.
