Thunder Bay residents are being asked for their feedback on the next phase of the city’s waterfront redevelopment at Pool 6.

The Pool 6 property represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape Thunder Bay’s waterfront, building on the success of Prince Arthur’s Landing. Developing Pool 6 is identified as a priority in the City of Thunder Bay’s new Smart Growth Action Plan.

“Developing Pool 6 will be a game-changer for Thunder Bay,” said Joel DePeuter, Director of Development Services. “With this project, we have the chance to build a world-class waterfront destination for residents and visitors – while boosting the local economy and tax base.”

The City is currently reviewing four potential development scenarios for the Pool 6 property as part of the ongoing update to the Waterfront Master Plan. The scenarios were shaped by public feedback gathered throughout 2024.

All the development scenarios feature key amenities like multi-use trails, an urban beach and public pavilion, boathouse and dock, commercial storefront space, and the proposed Science North centre. The scenarios also envision potential development options including a market, Nordic spa, hotel and convention centre, water park, and multi-residential development.

Residents now have the chance to learn more about the plans for Pool 6 and provide further feedback. The City launched a public survey on Tuesday, February 17 and will hold an open house on Sunday, March 1. To fill out the survey, residents can visit thunderbay.ca/getinvolved or access hard copies at Thunder Bay Public Library branches, the 55 Plus Centre, and City Hall.
