Cultural Mapping
"Mapping our cultures in all their depth, keeping our diverse stories and multiple histories interrogating and renewing each other, is a key cultural function of our time." - Greg Young, Cultural Mapping in the Global World.
From our long-standing museums and galleries, professional theatre company, and internationally renowned symphony orchestra, to our skilled local musicians, individual artists and grassroots cultural groups, the City of Thunder Bay has a rich culture and heritage.
Cultural Mapping Project
Help put culture on the map! The City of Thunder Bay is launching a cultural map that will serve as a 'one-stop-shop' for local cultural assets. Culture plays an important role in defining and enhancing our quality of life, and the launching of the City's cultural map will allow the public to experience culture like never before.
Begun in 2008, the City of Thunder Bay is continuing to develop an inventory of all of the cultural assets in Thunder Bay, including: 
- cultural facilities
- public art
- individual artists and cultural professionals
- cultural businesses
- cultural organizations
- heritage buildings and sites and more
These assets are vital in fostering civic pride and need to be celebrated, preserved, and developed. With the click of a mouse, residents and visitors will soon have access to a growing list of nearly 800 cultural assets - all available from one location.
Stay tuned for the official launch of the Cultural Mapping Project and your opportunity to help us map culture in Thunder Bay!
