Push For Cruise Ships In Sarnia

Local officials will continue working on attracting a Great Lakes Cruise ship to make a stop in Sarnia.

Following a meeting with Tourism Sarnia-Lambton General Manager Marlene Wood, Mayor Mike Bradley says the earliest it could happen is 2017.

He says cruise line companies have already set their schedules for the next two years.

Mayor Bradley says part of the problem is our proximity to Windsor/Detroit but with more ships now sailing the Great Lakes, opportunities have increased.
