THUNDER BAY – Boomer’s Drive-In Theatre will return in 2021.
Grand Slam Sports and Entertainment, owners of the Thunder Bay Border Cats, said they’ll be offering up movies when provincial reopening restrictions permit drive-in movies to resume.
“We’re extremely excited to return this year and continue our great partnership with the Murillo Fairgrounds,” said company president David Valente.
“During this pandemic, being able to offer the residents of the Thunder Bay area an enjoyable night out in a unique setting, was an experience we wanted to continue in 2021. Using a LED video screen allows great flexibility for show times, including for groups wishing to book private events.”

THUNDER BAY After two straight days of growth, the active COVID-19 case count in the District of Thunder Bay has dropped again.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit on Friday announced four new confirmed cases, but also said six previously announced cases are considered to be resolved, leaving the region with 34 active cases.
The seven-day, per-100,000 case count grew slightly to 20.01, leaving the district firmly entrenched in the Yellow level of the province s colour-coded reopening framework, which has been superceded by a six-week stay-at-home order, which on Thursday was extended to June 2.

SIOUX LOOKOUT, Ont. – With no consistent signs of improvement in the Northwestern Health Unit’s COVID-19 numbers, medical officer of health Dr. Kit Young Hoon says it makes sense for the region to remain under a provincial stay-at-home order.
There were 50 active cases across the health unit as of Friday, with seven new cases reported that day.
The NWHU s COVID-19 incidence rate is less than half the provincial average in recent data, likely putting the health unit in the Red-Control level under the previous colour-coded provincial framework, Young Hoon said at a Friday press conference.
