Laird delivers country living with city convenience, set along the St. Marys River just east of Sault Ste. Marie in Algoma District. Acreage properties, quiet roadways, and a friendly rural rhythm define daily life, while Highway 17 keeps commutes and errands straightforward. Community spirit shows up year-round, from programs and services showcased by the Township of Laird to the time-honored Laird Fair, where livestock shows, homecrafts, and live entertainment bring neighbours together.
Outdoors, residents lean into the area’s natural assets. Birders, paddlers, and families frequent the shoreline trails and wetlands at the Pumpkin Point Conservation Area, a local gem with sweeping river views. Weekends often include scenic drives and history-filled day trips, including the Fort St. Joseph National Historic Site, a short hop away on the lower St. Marys River.
School options are solid for a rural township. Public education is served by the Algoma District School Board, with many teens attending Central Algoma Secondary School in nearby Desbarats; Catholic pathways are available through the Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board. For post-secondary, both Sault College and Algoma University offer programs just down the road.
