We are thrilled to share that Carmeuse North America - Drummond Island and Cedarville locations have come together to make a $10,000 investment in the Soo Locks Children’s Museum!

This gift is more than funding — it’s a powerful statement of belief in our children, our families, and the long-term strength of our community. Because of partners like Carmeuse, we are closer to opening our doors and creating a vibrant, hands-on space that will serve families across the Eastern Upper Peninsula, creating year-round family infrastructure and eliminate seasonality.

Please join us in thanking Carmeuse for their leadership and commitment! 👏 Also, thank you to Tracy Reichlin and Amy Hoffman for their help.

When local industry invests in local families, everyone wins.
