For those who may not be aware, there is currently a request to council to construct a Religious (Virgin Mary) themed Grotto in Bellevue Park, more specifically, Prince Island.
A council meeting was held June 16th and the Council Chambers was filled to capacity with the majority in attendance opposing the grotto.
Here are some links to some coverage of the issue for those who need more details.

I, along with many other residents of Sault Ste Marie are opposed to this structure being built in a public place. If you are NOT in support, please take the time to sign this petition and email/call your council members to tell them how you feel before it is too late,
