City Launches New Online Hub For Tariff Support
Sault Ste. Marie businesses are feeling the pressure as U.S. tariffs and Canadian counter-tariffs continue to rise. For many small shops, artists, and cross-border sellers, costs have doubled overnight, making it harder to stay competitive and keep customers. The city’s economic development team has launched a new online hub to help owners find real support during an uncertain time.
The portal gathers federal and provincial programs in one place, including export assistance, business development funding, market diversification tools, and tariff relief options. City staff say the goal is to make these programs easier to understand and easier to access, especially for smaller operators who don’t have the time or resources to search through multiple government sites.
