About
The City of Thunder Bay's Centennial Botanical Conservatory is accessible to all and is a great place to visit year round. The Conservatory was opened in 1967 by the Fort William Parks Board as a Centennial project, and it is a legacy to the citizens of Thunder Bay.
The cactus house and east wing are currently closed to the public - we regret the inconvenience. The plants are easily visible from the two access doors in the tropical house.

Needs assessment - Conservatory
The Conservatory has been an important part of our City for the last 50 years. In the future, the City must repair or replace the Conservatory buildings. This is an opportunity to investigate if there are other uses that should be incorporated into the space. Stay tuned for future public engagement sessions and information regarding future use and construction plans.
