Thunder Bay's city council voted to make a hangar-like design beside the Community Auditorium its preferred option for an indoor turf facility, bucking a staff recommendation to stick with Chapples Park.

A $5.1-million contract for eight new waste collection trucks will help enable the launch of a municipal green bin program in 2025.

A month after calling for a broad hiring freeze across city operations, Mayor Ken Boshcoff says he's still committed to the idea, but has no timeline for bringing it forward — and appeared to soften his stance on the extent of the freeze.

Coun. Trevor Giertuga is calling for the city to commit $3 million from a reserve fund in hopes of kick-starting ambitious plans for a waterfront trail.

Nearly 5,000 Thunder Bay residents responded to a survey on the proposed closure of most of the city's outdoor skating rinks, with well over 90 per cent against the plan.

The provincial government announced over $4 million in NOHFC grants on Tuesday, with nearly half of that helping to finance a rebuild of Thunder Bay's north core.
