Sault Trails Advisory Committee holding first Car Free Sunday!

The Sault Trails Advocacy Committee is excited to announce Sault Ste. Marie's first ever Car Free Sunday!

On July 31, St. Mary’s River Drive and Foster Drive will be closed to vehicles for Sault residents to walk, ride, roll, and glide down the streets!

Beginning at 9:30 a.m. through to 1 p.m., the area will be active with cyclists, walkers and rollers enjoying the car free space and the many activities available including yoga, Ultimate Frisbee, YMCA cardio class and fitness equipment demonstrations.

Water stations and health and fitness information will also be available throughout the area as well.

Car Free Sunday is the final event for Soo Moves – an extended awareness campaign and event series promoting healthy living and positive attitudes towards active transportation in Sault Ste. Marie.

The goal is to get our residents “MOVING” in July and that these events can be a catalyst to get more people outside, living a healthy and active lifestyle and sharing the road!

Visit Soo Moves on Facebook for additional information.

The Sault Trails Advisory Committee is a volunteer organization established in 2001 made up of representatives from the City of Sault Ste. Marie Planning and Engineering staff, Algoma Public Health, Sault Ste. Marie Region Conservation Authority, Sault Cycling Club, ADSB, Water Tower Inn, Sault Finnish Nordic Ski Club and the Sault Naturalists.

STAC’s vision is to play a lead role in creating a habitable community that fosters human powered activities for transportation and recreation that respects the environment and promotes a healthy life style for citizens and visitors.
