How to Find Us:

We are located at the southeast end of Lake Superior, by the sheltered waters of Goulais Bay, on Lake Superior, in Northern Ontario, Canada.

So just where is Goulais River? Well, Sault Ste. Marie lies between the biggest lakes on the plant, Lake Huron and Lake Superior, and Goulais River is a 30 minute drive north on the trans Canada Highway (a.k.a. Hwy. 17).

Specifially, turn west on Hwy 17 north (25 km north of Sault Ste. Marie) and follow Hwy 552 west for 5.5 kilometres, then turn right on Mission Rd. and follow for 5.2 kilometres to No. 1021.
