THUNDER BAY— The District of Thunder Bay Social Services Administration Board is working to get mail out.

In Thunder Bay cheques will be avaiable May 29 and 30 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the DSSAB building, 231 May St. South
In the rest of the region, OW cheques can be picked up on May 30 from 9am-3:30pm at the following locations.
