23rd Annual International Bridge Walk

Giving locals and visitors a bird's-eye view of the American and Canadian Locks, the 23rd Annual International Bridge Walk will be held on Saturday, June 27th. Walkers are invited to meet at the Norris Center on the campus of Lake Superior State University, where there is plenty of parking.


Walkers are reminded that the following documents will be required to enter the United States after June 1, 2009.  
  • U.S. or Canadian passports;
  • Trusted Traveler Card (NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST);
  • U.S. Passport Card;
  • State- or province-issued Enhanced Driver's Licenses
  • Form I-872 American Indian Card
The walk begins at 9:00 a.m and covers approximately 3 miles from start to finish, ending in the west parking lot of the OLG Casino in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Be sure to bring your camera, as the view from the bridge is spectacular.  Upon completion of the walk, each participant will be given a special certificate. Buses will be available to return walkers to the Norris Center, with the last bus leaving at 12:00 p.m.  The cost for the bus ride is $2 per person or $10 per family.
           
Walkers are always encouraged to make the most of the kick-off of our mutual Independence Day holidays by dressing patriotically.   Patriotic attire always helps to enhance the celebratory nature of this event.  Whether you are adorned with a giant maple leaf or stars and stripes, you are sure to catch the eye of the community, as this is truly an international event.


The International Bridge Walk is coordinated by a committee of volunteers and is sponsored by the International Bridge Administration, the Sault Area Chamber of Commerce (Michigan), the Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce (Ontario), Oldies 93, Northern Star Broadcasting and CTV.

           
For more information about the Bridge Walk, call the Sault Area Chamber of Commerce at (906) 632-3301.
