U.S. Coast Guard meets with Sugar Islanders

The United States Coast Guard met with residents of Sugar Island at the township’s community center Tuesday night to discuss their ice breaking operations and what to expect in preparation of the opening of the Soo Locks on March 25.This year has proven to be an abnormally treacherous winter for islanders. A combination of factors — including weather and the loss of an ice boom — have lead to ice build up, causing the Sugar Islander II to undergo seven service interruptions.
