Well I dont quite know where Sault St. Marie is, but if you want to start out on poi you can either do it painfully and get tennis balls and pop a hole in the top and the shove knotted shoe strings through them, or you can take old socks and put other socks in them and then take shoe strings which is much less inflicting.

I live in Kalamazoo, south of Grand Rapids in Michigan if that means anything at all... Ive been looking for anyone around here and havent found anyone yet. I think there was a group around Detroit in like 01 but havent heard anything else from that.

I know the basics and what not so you might want to look into videos and explanations on the butterfly, threading the needle, and the weave once you get those a lot of it has to with the ambition and creativity. But this is an excellent website for all and any of that information they have it all you just have to look. Hope things work out..

Hey! I don't know of anyone that far north. But in Canmore...actually, haven't seen Nove around in ages. I think she was from out there!
Sorry to be less than helpful. Still, there's a lot of info on this site.
Cheers!
