The City of Sault Ste. Marie is now accepting submissions for the Mayor’s Christmas Card Competition. Mayor Provenzano is inviting elementary school-aged children to take part in a competition to design his annual Christmas card by submitting a holiday drawing.

“I encourage all local youth to consider submitting a design. We received many creative submissions last year and we were really pleased with the level of engagement in the competition,” said Mayor Provenzano.

“It was great to send Christmas cards featuring designs from students here in Sault Ste. Marie to the prime minister, premier and leaders across our community, and I look forward to seeing what our local youth come up with this year.”

Three winning designs will be chosen as the Mayor’s official 2021 Christmas card. The cards will feature the winner’s drawing as well as name, age, school and contact information. The winners will also receive a gift certificate and a copy of the Christmas card personally signed by the mayor.
