Business advocates hopeful for south core
Fort William BIA chair says the city's core is a "magnet" where people come for entertainment, food and business. Thunder Bay - Thunder Bay's Fort William Business Improvement Area (BIA) had a turbulent year in 2024, from delays in major revitalization plans (including the demolition of the Victoriaville Mall) to finding solutions for homelessness. Fort William BIA chair Aldo Ruberto said one of the things they want to do is beautify and clean up the area and provide more security to show core businesses that "hey, we're trying."

This year the city's goal is an "ambitious" 350 new homes.
Thunder Bay - 256 new residential units started construction last year, and if you ask the city's Housing Accelerator Fund project manager, Summer Stevenson, that is good news. "We have had great success," Stevenson said. "We have exceeded our target (housing starts) by 100%." Stevenson said the city started 256 new homes last year, well above the provincial target of 187 new housing starts. She expects the provincial target this year to be around 200, but she said the city's internal target is much higher. Stevenson hopes to have 35 by 2025.

Canada has 50,000 international students not attending classes as required, with India accounting for half! Immigration enforcement tightens!
Recently, according to government data from spring 2024, compliance issues among international students in Canada have drawn widespread attention. The data shows that nearly 50,000 international students failed to show up for classes at their colleges and universities, sparking heated debate about the effectiveness of Canada's international student compliance system. According to statistics from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), this absence rate accounts for 6.9% of all international students. Canada has had an international student compliance system in place since 2014, requiring designated learning institutions to report twice a year on whether international students are enrolled and attending classes as required. The system is designed to prevent non-compliant students from abusing study permits and to promptly identify any suspicious activity.

City manager says tax increase 'lowest in Ontario'
Thunder Bay Mayor John Collins says the city's proposed 2025 municipal tax increase is currently the lowest among Ontario cities with a population over 100,000. Collins acknowledged that some cities are still working on their municipal budgets and have not yet released final figures. But he said that so far, only two cities have tax increases below 4%. Collins said: "Ottawa's spending is 3.9%, and ours is 3.7%. We don't know about Ottawa's situation... we don't know how much of their reserves they used to achieve that. Whether that includes all the costs of their agencies, boards, and commissions, we don't have that level of detail." Co

Thunder Bay prepares for a cold snap
Thunder Bay — The deepest, longest cold snap of the season is about to hit northwestern Ontario. Environment Canada believes this could lead to an extreme cold warning for the Thunder Bay area. Meteorologist Trudy Kidd said Wednesday that a cold front moving into the region will bring a "continuous stream of Arctic air" over an extended period. Current forecasts call for overnight lows near -30 C starting Saturday night, with similar overnight temperatures expected for at least the next two days. By Monday and Tuesday, daytime highs will only reach -23 C, 14 degrees below normal. But the wind will indeed make things very uncomfortable, and for exposed skin,

OPP reminds drivers to be careful when driving near snowplows
Drivers in the Thunder Bay area of northwestern Ontario are being asked to drive with caution when near snowplows on highways in the region. According to a release issued by the Ontario Provincial Police on Wednesday, snowplow operators have reported an increase in dangerous driving behaviours, including vehicles following too closely or overtaking dangerously, especially when plows are operating in a staggered formation. This formation allows plows to clear multiple lanes efficiently, but drivers often try to weave between the plows, putting themselves and the plow drivers at significant risk. The OPP says that poor driving habits, rather than bad driving conditions, are the main cause of winter collisions on Ontario highways. One driver was most
