Retired lawyer Frank Sarlo is donating sale proceeds from his new book toward helping city council tackle homelessness and addictions crisis
Sarlo, who practiced law in the Sault for 40 years, has published his second book, A Special Place, highlighting the many assets the city has to offer, its people and how the community has survived through many challenges throughout its history.
“I’m going to do whatever I can to raise as much money as I can, but as one person I can only do so much,” Sarlo told SooToday. “That’s going to be for our leaders to decide. We have a young mayor and young council of caring people and they’re attempting to put things together to meet those challenges,” Sarlo said.
“With the young leaders that we have today, our mayor and council and many others, there’s a lot of energy there to work on our problems and hopefully solve them.”“In its pages we look at the spirit of place and how it’s provided us with a strong and unique personality, through its location and history, combined with special people.”
It tells the story of Algoma Steel’s survival through challenging times, PUC operations and the Sault Ste. Marie Airport’s successful transformation into the Sault Ste. Marie Airport Development Corporation.“I was the chair of a community committee that moved to save Sault Ste. Marie. Over 900 people came forward to volunteer for that effort and former Saultites in Ottawa made sure we would be heard by the government.
