I had to look it up: "Colombo, the largest city and financial hub of Sri Lanka, occupying an area of 37 km2, and home to an estimated 612,535 inhabitants (2020) and nearly another 500,000 daily floating population." Quite the busy place!
Quite small in comparison to Canada haha, our whole country isn’t bigger than Ontario.. but we’ve got big stories! 😉
What an upbeat, positive post & description of the Sault! Love it. I really enjoyed my time in the English program at Algoma U
Welcome to the Soo, Mariyah. I'm a newcomer as well. I moved here from Thunder Bay roughly a week ago. I already love it here and I'm looking forward to trying the local restaurants!
@Shelly Bazil-Smith Thanks Shelly. I'm very glad to be here!
Thanks Brandon! Welcome to you too! I do have a previous post where some lovely members were kind enough to share their favourite breakfast posts! You should totally check it out!
@Mariyah Reaz Sounds good. Where would I find it?
Welcome welcome welcome....much love !!
Hi everyone! Now that Spaces will be opening its doors to more people, I thought I should introduce myself on here! 💗
I’m Mariyah, and I was a content writer/educator back home, but I’m currently an English major at AlgomaU and moved to Canada to learn cool things from people with different experiences- I’m glad to have this opportunity. My husband and I moved to the Soo from my favourite island ever, my home, Sri Lanka. 🏝️ We’ve been excited to make the most of this new opportunity in Sault Ste. Marie, which we think is a nice break from the overly populated and heavily “hustle” cultured cities, like Colombo (the city I’m from back home). We really like the laidback yet motivated energy here !
Looking forward to hosting an inclusive space for everyone here, let’s gooo 😉
P.S the picture is us on our recent vacation to Georgian Bay at Tobermory, ON. It was absolutely gorgeous! More on that in upcoming posts.
