The Soo Rocks

The Soo Rocks would like to extend warm wishes and big cyber hugs to all mothers of the Soo. Just in case you want to do something beyond the usual flowers, perfume or dinner out for that special mom in your family, The Soo Rocks suggest some of the following activities:

Weed out mom’s garden for her. Pay back you mother for all the nurturing she has given you over the years. Inspire to show your mom your love through the priceless gift of life and beauty – a flower or vegetable garden. Spend a few hours to help her weed and prepare her garden.

Clean up her house for her. A simple show of love that is often forgotten or overlooked but has been tried and tested over the years – mom’s love clean houses. A simple gesture that is even more appreciated as mom ages.

Cook for her. Yes moms do appreciate being treated to a dinner out. But moms also appreciate spending time with their family and also like home cooked meals and being waited on at home or at their kids houses. You can always find a nice steak over at Nevilles Superette that would taste great on the grill along with all the fixings while mom spends family time visiting.

Take mom to a movie or a show. You can check the Varsity Cinema movie schedule here or you can purchase tickets for upcoming STARS World Dance Tour for the two of you to enjoy.

Wash and detail her car for her. DIY jobs such as this are always appreciated. But if time is of essence or there are other circumstances that prevent you doing it yourself – you can always call Reno’s Car Care to get an appointment to take in her car to have it cleaned and detailed.

Spend Quality Time with mom. Basically anything you do with mom will show her that you appreciate her and all she’s done for you. Whether it’s shopping, dining or just visiting remember today is her day and don’t forget to the best gift of all Tell mom you love her!


This beautiful old statue of Mary has been brought  to the Soo where she overlooks and protects the boats and crews entering the locks from the St Mary's River. She now sits behind the old federal building soon to be home to the City of Sault Ste Marie. Although hidden to many, she is one of our rare beautiful treasures you can find here in the Soo.
