r/ThunderBay

Your thoughts and opinions. Regarding the encampments in our city?
Do you think situation is out of control?
Is city of thunder bay doing enough to deal with situation. Or should more be done?
Also this can be considered a provincial thing too?
What would be your ideas that could help deal with the homelessness problems?
Should there be more treatment centres?
Why dont those people use the evac centre. At gardens?
What other things need to be done?

Just curious as I have seen with the police the full Special Constable police vehicle out and about in around the city. Seen the officers doing calls as well it seems?

I thought Special Constable was only with the court house? or is this happening due to a shortage of regular officers?

I know the duties are a little restrictive vs the regular constable, but what is the reason ?

I’m sorry for adding more costco content on reddit. I drive by it everyday and am excited. Does anyone know how the work is going? on schedule? i know they needed to do an excessive amount of earthworks. Figure with how many people are involved with it, someone has to be 1 degree of separation away from someone with knowledge

The shortest left turn light in the city has to be at Carrick and the Harbour Expressway.

I work in health care for a small team and we always have a hard time booking something for a little
Christmas get together because everything’s booked already by mid September!

There typically ends up being about 25 ish people roughly and we just want to eat and have drinks but in an atmosphere that’s either private or really open concept so we can walk around and mingle - but we’re also wondering if maybe there is something a little more fun we can do together. We have to pay for our own stuff and do everything ourselves so we
Aren’t interested in paying to rent a
Room or Space, something we can either pay a ticket/admission price for and just attend, or order off the menu kind of thing.

Ultimately I’ll just book something at a restaurant if we can’t find anything, but is there any little hole in the wall things that maybe we aren’t aware of? Age of guests is about 30-60 ish

Finally something has been said.

Anyone know what the city is putting in at the playground at Vickers Park? Seems like 3 squares were dug out, but I haven't a clue what's going in.

Any clues or knowledge from the community?

The Parole Board of Canada has granted full parole to Brayden Bushby, who killed Barbara Kentner with a thrown trailer hitch, a move northern First Nations say feels like a profound injustice.

I'll go first. Walking Dead car on Arthur St. Umm, interesting and hard to miss!

What is happening with the construction projects in Thunder Bay this year? Are the planning departments at the City and MTO not communicating with one another? Where is the signage? No detour routes posted? How can turning off the highway on to John AND Oliver be closed? Backed up traffic everywhere at different times a day including 8 pm on a Tuesday. Shame on the people who planned (or lack there of) this.

I was wondering where the best places to find interesting rocks are. I recently got a really nice rock tumbler and im after some good specimens.

I'm doing a bit of a road trip between Saskatoon and Toronto and so I will be stopping in Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, and the Sault. I'll have my dog with me so I'm looking for some recommended places to do a couple hour long walks. We walk all kinds of areas like parks, older neighbourhoods, wooded areas, or shop-lined streets. I could also use some recommendations for local restaurants for dinner and breakfast (extra points for a spot where I can grab breakfast while on our walk!) Thanks!
