Thunder Bay – Taxes Owing
Taxes in the City of Thunder Bay are high. Very high. We have some of the highest tax rates in Ontario. Water bills? You’d think that the taps were dispensing gold. Sometimes, residents/business owners get behind with their tax payments. They are in arrears. Reasons may vary. Still, property owners must pay their fair […]
Thunder Bay – Revitalize this!
After seeing those ING Bank commercials on TV, you know the ones, “If you want to stop paying chequing fees, then stop paying chequing fees”, I thought they make a lot of sense for the City of Thunder Bay.

Thunder Bay – Inside the Doughnut
Revitalize the downtown core. That is the cry for all the supporters of the Water Street location for the proposed events centre.

Thunder Bay – Believe It Or Not!
