In the speech from the throne, the Ford government promised to "significantly streamline permitting and approvals for critical mineral mining"
Queen's Park - The Ontario government plans to introduce legislation that would allow areas containing critical mineral deposits, such as the Ring of Fire, to be designated as strategically significant regions. This commitment was made in the speech from the throne at the opening of the new legislature on Tuesday. The government said the legislation would give it the power to support the province's economic and security interests by offering "significantly streamlined permitting and approvals" to developers who meet high operational, safety, and environmental standards. It also pledged to fulfill constitutional obligations to consult with Indigenous communities. The Canadian government has called the Ring of Fire the front line in Canada's fight against U.S. President Donald Trump's economic threats, and said the 5,000

The winter storm may not have broken records, but it was still significant: Environment Canada
Thunder Bay - Environment Canada says the city has seen historic snowfall for this time of year, but whether records were broken is hard to say. Steven Flisfeder, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada, said snowfall data from recent days is "a bit sparse." Based on volunteer reports, he said the city likely received about 25 cm of snow during the storm from Wednesday to Thursday morning. He said there was a localized area in the northeast where snowfall could have reached up to 30 cm during the storm. Flisfeder said the snow "is still one of the top ten snowmakers for April." The weather bureau had said the record for the highest single-day temperature in April was set in 1956

The city could see another 20 cm of snow this weekend
Thunder Bay - The city could see up to 20 cm of snow this weekend.

Snowfall amounts are expected to be between 10 and 20 cm, with some areas receiving more than 20 cm. The system is expected to move west to east across northwestern Ontario. If the storm turns into ice pellets or freezing rain, snowfall amounts could be less. Environment Canada says it is still uncertain where the heaviest snowfall will be.

Thunder Bay lakeside art gallery opening moved to 2027
Thunder Bay - If the sign posted at the construction site of Thunder Bay's new art gallery saying "Opening in 2025" were accurate, the remaining work would have to proceed at faster-than-light speed. In fact, the sign is already badly outdated, as the project is now expected to be completed in 2027. Lesley Bell, who has served as interim chair of the gallery's board since late January, told The News Watch: "We're not 100% certain, but we hope to achieve that in early 2027." She cited multiple reasons for the extended timeline but said construction is still underway. "The work is progressing. If you come to the site,

Environment Canada says spring weather is expected to be a 'roller coaster' as usual
Thunder Bay - Environment Canada says the Northwest will see the usual mixed weather over the coming months. March 20 marks the official start of spring this year, but meteorologist Trudy Kidd says the weather and the calendar don't always align. 'I think we can say winter is over,' she said, adding, 'Just because the calendar says winter is over doesn't mean the weather will follow suit.' She said this year will see the usual 'roller coaster' ups and downs. If March so far has made it seem like spring has come early, Kidd says temperatures have been slightly above normal for most of northwestern Ontario in March.

Caught dangerous driving on Dawson Road
Thunder Bay - A sticker on the tailgate of a pickup truck read, "If driving responsibly, please report stolen." But on Saturday, an officer with the Thunder Bay Police Service's traffic unit likely wasn't amused when he saw the notice while pulling the driver over. The incident occurred on Dawson Road, where police said the vehicle was travelling at a high rate of speed. Police commented on social media: "The truck was not actually being driven responsibly, nor was it stolen." The driver was charged with speeding and stunt driving, banned from driving the truck for 14 days, and had their licence suspended for 30 days. On roads with a posted speed limit below 80 km/h

A coyote was spotted on Redwood Avenue near St. Francis School
Thunder Bay - Even a single coyote sighting can cause a stir, but the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) says it has received few coyote-related calls this winter in the Thunder Bay-Ignace area. Many of the calls they did receive were related to sightings in a Thunder Bay neighbourhood. In a written statement, the MNR said that in mid-to-late February, it received multiple reports of unconfirmed coyote sightings in the Northwood area. The MNR said the public reports described the coyote as healthy. Northwood resident Ashley Winter, on F

Ski hills hope to stay open until mid-April
Thunder Bay - With warmer weather and snow melting quickly, local ski hills are preparing for the end of the ski season, which comes as no surprise. They're just not ready to close up shop yet. Staff at Loch Lomond and Mount Baldy hope to keep the hills open until mid-April. "We'll see what happens in the next few days," said Daniel Carras, owner of Mount Baldy Ski Area. "We've been praying the forecasters are wrong, but at the end of the day, we've had a pretty tough couple of years, and this season has been very good for us. Hopefully we can make it through mid-April. I don't have a crystal ball. We'll see, but based on the long-term forecast, this year we've been

Lakehead Region Conservation Authority issues flood watch warning
Thunder Bay - The Lakehead Region Conservation Authority has issued a flood watch for its watershed, including the City of Thunder Bay. In a news release issued Friday afternoon, the authority said the measure also applies to the municipalities of Neebing, Oliver Paipoonge and Shuniah, as well as the townships of O'Connor, Conmee, Gillies and Dorion. A flood watch is issued when conditions exist that could lead to flooding. LRCA Chief Administrative Officer Tammy Cook said rainfall and warmer temperatures, combined with the ground still being frozen, mean there will be more runoff because the ground cannot adequately absorb moisture.

Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for a large area of Northern Ontario. The warning extends from Cat Lake First Nation to the Ontario-Quebec border, covering Armstrong, Nakina, and areas north of Highway 11 up to Neskantaga. According to the meteorological department, the region is expected to see ice accumulation of 2 to 5 millimetres. Freezing rain is expected to spread this evening, possibly mixed with ice pellets and scattered flurries, making roads, walkways, and parking lots extremely slippery.

Blood Worm Moon coming: total lunar eclipse will turn the full moon blood red
Northern Ontario is set for a rare astronomical event. Brendon Roy, member and senior vice-president of the Thunder Bay Astronomical Society, says a total lunar eclipse will take place from Thursday night into early Friday morning, turning the full moon a striking blood red for about 65 minutes. During that time, as the moon gradually moves into Earth's shadow, the night sky will grow darker; if the sky is clear, stars normally hidden by moonlight will become visible. Roy explains: "From the moon's perspective, Earth is slowly blocking the sun, and for viewers in North America, we'll see Earth's shadow quietly cover the moon's surface." It's understood that although the full moon rises Thursday evening with the sun

City road crews tackle late-winter pothole repairs
As winter fades, road damage caused by repeated freeze-thaw cycles is becoming visible across Thunder Bay. City road crews are working intensively on pothole repairs to ensure residents' safety. According to Ryan Love, interim city roads manager, the current pothole situation is generally manageable. "So far, potholes are not a serious problem," he said, noting that the number of complaints from residents is low and the issue is under control. However, in some high-traffic damage zones, crews still need to be dispatched daily to ensure timely road improvements. To boost efficiency, the road crew has deployed a self-propelled pothole patching machine called the "Python 5000." This equipment
