Here is Rotarys noon update today, Friday.

12PM update.... or should we say "3" 🤔

At the time of typing this, Sault Ste. Marie is a 3 on the AQHI. Please see openings listed below.

Parade Update: based on the current and improved conditions (low risk) the Rotary Community Day Parade presented by Brookfield Renewable is scheduled to proceed tomorrow.

With cleaner air and much lower AQHI numbers this morning and multiple conversations with all SBS Exec, all bands, Rotary and 705Live we have decided to proceed with Friday Night Blues. Being cautiously optimistic we continue to monitor the situation. Should air quality deteriorate, cancellations are possible. We will continue to provide updates as circumstances change.
