Thunder Bay - According to the latest estimates from Statistics Canada, the population of the Thunder Bay area grew to over 133,000 people last year.
The federal agency said in a report released last week that the Thunder Bay census metropolitan area had a total of 133,063 people as of July 1, 2024.
That is an increase of 2,032 from the July 2023 estimate.
According to data provided by Statistics Canada to Newswatch, the growth is mainly attributed to international migration.
People holding work or study permits and their families are also included in the estimates.
The Thunder Bay CMA includes the city, Oliver Paipoonge, Shuniah, Fort William First Nation, Neebing, Conmee, O'Connor and Gillies.
Statistics Canada says population estimates may differ from official census results because they are determined by the agency's post-censal demographic estimation program, which adjusts for incomplete coverage in the census.
