OBS

«Sault Ste. Marie» est la graphie contemporaine du nom de la cité, donc un lieu habité, actuellement inscrit au Répertoire de l'Ontario; c'est aussi le spécifique dans «canal de Sault Ste. Marie (Ont.)», un canal historique géré par Parcs Canada. Les graphies historiques d'origine française, «Sault-Sainte-Marie» et «Sault-Ste-Marie», n'ont pas été retenues pour la désignation du lieu historique national. La graphie contemporaine «The Soo» n'est ni correcte, ni officielle même si on l'utilise en anglais à des fins de commercialisation, pour raccourcir le nom.
