The City of Sault Ste. Marie is hoping to make use of the popular television series Viking in promoting our community as a destination for filmmakers.
Council will be asked at tonight’s meeting to enter into a licensing agreement with MGM Home Entertainment Distribution to make use of a 30-second clip of a scene that was filmed in the Sault in season 4 of the series.
This licensing would allow FutureSSM to utilize the clip in one long format and one short format for marketing purposes.
A report to council says there will be no cost to the city for licensing of the clip.
The series has been picked up by Netflix and Amazon.
