City declares 'significant weather event'

If they maintain the roads and sidewalks during a storm the roads and sidewalks would not be considered 'a state of repair'. Whoever made this policy up has never had to drive, walk , used a wheelchair or walker to get around in this City. Shame on you city and counselors we live in the North, we pay high taxes for road/street repairs/maintenance do your job!

Wow, really. Feeling entitled much. How about the people who have probably been waiting for their doctor's appointments for months, and now have to reschedule. Or those who depend on the soup kitchen.

‘Pretty intense’: Quick-thinking dad pulls driver from flaming wreck on Hwy. 400

This isnt local news. If I wanted this kind of news I can go to other various sites for that.

‘Pretty intense’: Quick-thinking dad pulls driver from flaming wreck on Hwy. 400

Thanks for the comment, and for visiting our site. I appreciate it. The vast majority of our stories are hyper local. Our extensive coverage of today's snowstorm is a prime example. But sometimes we publish relevant articles from our partner sites across the province. This one, from BarrieToday, is about an Ontario man who went above and beyond to save a person on a stretch of highway that plenty of Saultites drive on every year. And our network (Village Media) was the only one to cover this story, so you couldn't go to various other sites to read about it. Again, I appreciate your feedback. Bottom line: our news site covers all the important stories happening in the Sault — and some stories outside the Sault that resonate with people here. This one definitely fits the bill: a story about an ordinary Ontarian doing something heroic.

Carney shares hopeful Christmas message after year of 'challenges'

A year of challenges? Challenges that the Liberals have created for Canadians for the past 10 years they have been in power.

City declares significant weather event ahead of major winter storm

This must be a premeditated excuse for the poor road plowing. Im quite sick of every week or multiple times a week "significant weather event". Its getting old FAST

Ontario college students 'reeling' in face of program cuts, layoffs

They are allowing over 400 thousand to enter Canada in 2026....that is about 90 percent too many. We do not have the jobs and accommodations for 400 thousand immigrants at this time. Canada needs a catch up period regarding jobs and housing.

‘Pattern of neglect’ on northern highways contributed to tragic crash: MPP

Instead of building a freaking tunnel under Toronto, make Northern Ontario highways safer!!!!

Didn't realize 4wd enabled you to see where you're going in a blizzard...

Storm could bring up to 40 cm of snow

So the city will be in ANOTHER significant weather alert. Maybe youll get us cleaned up before this next one hits? I doubt it. Remember all of this come next election. I know I will be .

City declares 'significant weather event'

There is 2 inches of ice on every sidewalk, which is now covered in snow and dangerous to walk on when you are a senior. No sanding, no salting, and now more freezing rain coming.as the old saying goes " s.n.a.f.u" as usual with the city . I would really love to be able to actually take my dog for a walk , instead i have to walk him around a parking lot of the apt bldg. FOr a city that promotes " green" and not driving your vehicle , they sure don't care that everyone cant get anywhere due to safety and non plowed sidewalkscity is a lawsuit waiting to happen for failing to provide a safe environment to walk in for all people .This isn't a significant weather alert, this is an excuse to cover thier butts in case someone gets hurt and tries to sue........... This is a significant failure on the part of the city

'The shoe dropped': How the Canada-U.S. relationship blew up in 2025

Our Prime Minister was busy meeting the Ukrainian PM yesterday in Halifax to provide more taxpayers' money , while the cost of food, gas, heating, and rent continues to rise here in Canada. He doesn’t prioritize Canadians unless it involves giving away our money, without showing any concern for improving OUR lives.

I don't know why I live in this Country, I'm not a snow person, hate it with a passion! I do agree, that people need more sidewalks opened, and significantly sanded, they can't keep walking on roads, pedestrians deserve better!I'm tired of huge plows pushing snow from side streets into already high banks, everytime they clear roads.
