SooToday asked the City of Sault Ste. Marie why flags are currently at half-mast.
“Due to the death of a current city employee, flags at city sites have been placed at half-mast,” said Tessa Vecchio, the city's corporate communications officer.
Vecchio said she couldn’t say who died since the obituary has not been posted.
“The city’s policy states that flags at all municipal facilities will be flown at half-mast from the time of notification of death up to and including the day of the funeral in the event of the death of a current employee of the City of Sault Ste. Marie.”
