The Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce is contributing to the growing list of voices petitioning for the four-laning of the Trans-Canada Highway from coast to coast.
The chamber has issued letters to federal Transport Minister David Collenette and deputy prime minister John Manley endorsing four-laning and encouraging both ministers to proceed with the project, citing economic benefits and improvements to public safety.
"By committing to four-laning the Trans-Canada highway, you are really committing to ensuring that Northern Ontario continues to be a place where people can live and work," says Sault chamber president Ben Pascuzzi in a press release.
