WHERE IS WISHART

Wishart’s Sault Ste. Marie office is centrally located in a low cost gateway to the business and industrial heartland of North America. Sitting across the river from U.S.A. state of Michigan, we have three Canadian and American universities/colleges within ten minutes radius.

Ocean Port/ Seaway

Sault Ste. Marie has a deep-water harbour for international shipping and receiving of commodities, on the world’s largest tonnage seaway – larger than both the Panama and Suez Canals combined.

Rail, Road, Water Trade Apex

Ideally situated at the crossroads of North America, Wishart is served by two international airports in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada and in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. We are at the apex, where the Trans- Canada Highway and the Canadian National Railway meet a four-lane divided highway going south to Chicago, Detroit and extending to Miami Florida. Sault Ste. Marie also has a Reload Center to maximize the carrying capacities of road transport vehicles.

Key Portal to USA

For the shipment of resources – particularly wood, ore, metal, and steel, Sault Ste. Marie has historically been the first and fastest portal of choice to the United States by both truck and rail.
