Algoma U is located in Sault

it, has all the amenities
of a big city – shopping,

activities – but without the
hassle of traffic.

beautiful boardwalk. Plus, the hills of the
Canadian Shield are right at our back
door. With the highest elevation in Ontario,
Searchmont Resort is a popular winter
destination for our students, offering great
alpine skiing and snowboarding.
Our city is small enough to get around on
foot or bike. In fact, it’s only a 30-minute
walk from campus to downtown or a
10-minute bike or bus ride. The Hub Trail,
which runs through Algoma U, connects
the city, allowing you access to any major
destination on foot, bike, or roller blades.
Don’t need that much fresh air? Don’t
worry. The Sault Transit makes regular
stops on our campus and can take you
