COVID-19 UPDATE - Virtual Winter FunDays
In response to Provincial orders and physical distancing mandates, the City’s Winter FunDays programming will be delivered virtually this winter. With public safety being top priority, event staff are planning innovative ways of delivering events without encouraging the large gatherings that typically occur with events of this scale.
Enjoy FREE winter virtual programming for the whole family beginning on Sunday, January 17, 2021 and taking place every other Sunday until Sunday, March 28, 2021.
The featured virtual programming can be viewed on the Thunder Bay Culture & Events’ YouTube Channel.
