HOPA optimistic proposed Sault port will attract investment

The Hamilton Oshawa Port Authority says the proposed Port of Sault Ste. Marie could attract investment and strengthen trade links across Ontario. A business case estimates that by its fifth year, the port could handle 2.4 million tonnes of cargo annually—more than current volumes in Oshawa, Toronto and Windsor. HOPA is leading the project and funding applications under a partnership with the city established in 2025.
