Sault Ste. A shrinking or flat population means a local business grows mainly by winning customers from competitors rather than waiting for new households to arrive.

The economy leans on steel, forestry research, healthcare and post-secondary education, and Algoma Steel's furnace conversion is bringing major investment. Businesses that serve workers, students and contractors tied to those institutions have a steady base to sell to.

Marie should focus on converting competitors' customers and on employers, contractors and students linked to steel and education.
