- Hey man, I came over from the UK myself, so maybe I can help with a different perspective. There are a lot of general contractors and construction around Thunder Bay, so as long as you can back up your experience with skills, I suspect there'll be something. Wages here are usually hourly, and in my experience, overtime laws are more generous than in the UK. Holiday allowance is usually a lot less than in the UK. Rental apartments/houses are in high demand, so prices are fairly high. Thunder Bay is a really cool place (13)

Lots of general contractors and construction in and around Thunder Bay so provided you can back up your experience with abili - Lots of great nature. I can hike from downtown through the woods, go for a swim, and be back downtown before lunch is over. A half-hour drive puts me in deep dark sky. There are hundreds of trails for hikers, plus routes for canoeing and kayaking, two ski hills, and four or five sailing races a week that you can jump on a dock for with no experience. Community is what you make it. If you get out and get involved, there's a lot of great stuff happening (7)

Half an hour's drive gets me out into deep black skies. Hundreds of trail - I don't work in those fields, but expect there are plenty of opportunities. We have amazing access to nature - hiking, canoeing, skiing, climbing, etc. are all very accessible. Rent prices have gone up quite a bit since COVID, but still affordable compared to other places. We also have a great small-city community vibe. (6)

Post summary:Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to Thunder Bay and recently saw a group of people canoeing on the river in a bunch of red canoes.

Does anyone know who I could contact or where to find more info?

I occasionally drive my grandson's TESLA electric truck, and I'm worried I'll be judged or fail because of the new technology.
