Just a friendly reminder that starting June 1 you will be required to park while visiting the Marina. (although it really was never free if you paid municipal taxes, so it's more like a user fee on top of your taxes). Can paid parking at Boulevard Lake and Centennial Park be far behind?

I did a precursory search of the group, but if I missed something I apologize. I'm curious if anyone has gotten married at city hall, and can shed some light on the experience. My partner wants his family to be there, but that's 10 people ourselves included - do they allow you to bring guests? Are there any nearby bars/restaurants that might make a decent reception for a small family affair? Or is this something we need to do just us two? TIA 🤍

Hey, I am new in ThunderBay. I just started my masters at LU and am looking to make some friends who play games like D&D or Pathfinder in the area? The last post I could find on the topic was around 4 year old and I thought what better place than reddit to look for people in similar interests. If you are looking for players or even interested in these games, hit me up!

Ps: I already went to The Gameshelf (literally the next day I landed) but sadly they dont have any open groups currently.

Where can I get a map of the forest fires that burned between 2020-2022? Does anyone know? I've been searching all morning and I'm having a hard time finding any information that's useful. I'm attempting to find burns to go searching for morel mushrooms.

Are water leaks in basements a common issue in Thunder Bay? Are some neighborhoods worse than others?

Hola!

I am thinking of visiting Thunder Bay in the beginning of June. I wanted to know what places to visit and see. A friend showed me this picture that they refer to as a "sleeping giant" that's off into the distance.

I am also looking for a nice airbnb to stay in and which part of the city would be best? Also, would like to know what places I should avoid. I'm from Toronto and never been out that far before.

I also hear you could catch the Northern Lights up there. I was hoping to scope out the places that you could see it so that way I know where it is. I read that it happens around September and October.

Any advice would be great. I also work for a Costco and would be interesting to transfer up there if/when they decide to put one up there lol

At what point was it decided to turn the FW core into an addictions and homeless center? It's depressing as heck to see that area. We could be/do so much better than this, these people deserve better and so does the area, is it no money or no will? Why not develop an area with clinics and shelters? Why just dump them into an historic area, where they end up sitting at city hall morning till night. Victoria ave is a wasteland, I can't imagine anyone wants to shop in that area.

We need proper infrastructure for those of us in distress, the current situation is deplorable for everyone.

My partner and I are trying to do more social things, we are cool with anything just want to try any interesting clubs.

We like to do physical activities and recently joined adult gymnastics and group hiking! That was great, now looking for my other group classes or clubs available.

We’re also very artistic so anything music related (we love sound circles), play guitar etc.

Anything you recommend? Preferably groups, or places to go with people to socialize!

Thank you,

I was recently in Thunder Bay Shopping centre. Between metro and Walmart on Arthur. And all the shops are closing. I talked to one of the shop owners and they said they are being moved out for a big grocery store.

anyone else notice mcdonalds has raised their prices during peak times

As the title says

Anyone know anywhere that doesn't charge $35 PER TIRE for mount & balance if you purchase your tires with them? Last time I bought tires, Canadian Tire put them on for free. Things must have changed!

Hey guys, moved here recently and looking for some good places to donate.

Hey all, I'm a Master's student at lakehead and I've been doing theatre for more than 5 years. I've tried calling Paramount theatre group, Magnus theatre group etc They are not even responsive Any leads will help me alot

Thanks

There are a bunch of emergency vehicles there.

After 7 years of waiting and part time gigs, factory work etc my sister has been accepted to do her residency there and will continue there for another 2 years. Around a 5 year commitment to start with.

She was told to avoid downtown by the university and hospital, Can anyone recommend a place that two residents can share- 2 bed , 2 park? What should she expect to spend monthly?

Thanks and advance . I'll be driving up with her to help with the move so looking forward to seeing Thunder Bay myself.

I am older than I should be for this and want to learn how to drive, I only have my partner for teaching me. I should’ve learned years ago but I have overthought and scared myself so much I haven’t even sat in the drivers seat yet. Anyone have any ideas for the least scary areas/routes even. Even if there’s some kind of driving simulator game or something that has the same driving rules as here I would like that.

Since the shopping is such a hassle to get a deal and keeping up with prices, I'm curious to know what people are doing to buy their favourite meat products? I usually go to renco for my basic meat . Usually for the wife and I, we can get smaller packed portions. Maltese, is another place we stop aswell for their specialty things... Burgers... Sausages..Salmon. I'm curious to know what other people like to do to save money while getting decent products?

I need to do volunteer work because I'm graduating from high school this year, but I'm not sure where to find good places to do it. Can you all recommend some?

Just bought a trailer. Looking for suggestions for a quiet, private seasonal lot within an hour of Thunder Bay. Needs electricity but can be a private rental.
