Sault Ste. Marie city council members Corey Gardi and Sonny Spina are set to propose environmental initiatives, including a district energy network to utilize industrial waste heat and partnerships for producing bio-carbon as a coal substitute.

The plan emphasizes 'green logistics' at the port expansion to facilitate the movement of bio-products and minerals essential for the EV supply chain, aligning with the city's transition to low-carbon manufacturing and aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. The initiatives are part of the proposed 2026 Green Innovation Roadmap, which seeks to secure provincial and federal funding.
