The City has conducted early stage consulations and produced several reports for the proposed Thunder Bay Event Centre. Preliminary Open Houses were held in 2010 and 2011 on preliminary facility configuration and site options, which allowed the public to provide their input to the City on where the facility should be located and how they would like to see it operated.
