City Council thanks Sandy Adam

Sault City Council has expressed appreciation to Sandy Adam, who announced last week that he's stepping down as president and chief executive officer of Algoma Steel Inc.

With Ward 3 Councillor Pat Mick (shown) filling in as acting mayor (Mayor Rowswell is in Ireland), Council passed the following resolution:

"Whereas Algoma Steel Inc. continues to be a very important economic activity and employer for the citizens of Sault Ste. Marie; and

"Whereas for the last six years, Sandy Adam, as president and CEO of Algoma Steel has shepherded the company through a very difficult North American steel market and has remained committed to the company's survival through its recent restructuring; and

"Whereas the success of Algoma's restructuring plan is, at least in large part, due to the hard work and commitment of Sandy Adam; and

"Whereas Sandy Adam has announced his planned retirement from Algoma Steel effective August 31, 2002;

"Now therefore be it resolved that City Council, on behalf of the citizens of Sault Ste. Marie, expresses its sincerest thanks to Sandy Adam for his dedication and commitment to Algoma Steel and Sault Ste. Marie; and

"Further that best wishes be offered to Sandy and his family in all their future endeavours."
