The City is inviting residents to learn more and share their thoughts on four conceptual development proposals currently under consideration for City-owned properties that may be declared surplus to support new multi-unit housing and mixed-use opportunities.

A dedicated webpage has been launched at www.thunderbay.ca/getinvolved featuring renderings, background information, and an online survey open to all residents. Two in-person public engagement open houses will also take place Wednesday, November 19, providing an opportunity for community members to speak with City staff, view proposal materials, and provide feedback in person.

Afternoon Open House
City Hall Lobby
500 Donald St. E
2 p.m. – 4 p.m.

Evening Open House
Oliver Road Recreation Centre
563 Oliver Road
6 p.m. – 8 p.m.

“These sites represent an opportunity to create much-needed new homes in areas that are already serviced, connected, and desirable,” said Deanna Walker, Manager of Realty Services. “These conceptual proposals are from private developers, are not City-subsidized projects, and are designed to help address Thunder Bay’s housing shortage.”

The City received a strong response through a recent Call for Proposals seeking projects that aligned with community goals for growth, sustainability, and creating complete, connected neighbourhoods.

“By engaging in this process, residents have a chance to learn about what’s being considered and share feedback that will help inform next steps,” Manager Walker added.

Residents are encouraged to visit www.thunderbay.ca/getinvolved to review the conceptual proposals and complete the online survey by November 21.
