A controversial proposal to sell the city-owned mobile home park Hillcourt Estates remains on the table after city council requested further information.

City administration has hit reverse on a controversial recommendation to cut two Thunder Bay Transit routes.

Details on candidate spending in Thunder Bay's 2022 municipal election were released Wednesday, showing the mayoral runner-up has yet to file a report, and an unusually high spend by one at-large candidate.

Coun. Trevor Giertuga is calling for a report on the potential sale of city-owned trailer park Hillcourt Estates.

In a lengthy meeting, Thunder Bay's city council approved a $13 million downtown rebuild, backtracked on a contentious library vote, and rejected calls to explore a Neebing trail system.

A call to explore the possibility of a walking path along Mountain Road was blocked by city councillors who argued the municipality can’t afford to make exceptions to rural service standards.

Coun. Greg Johnsen is calling for a report on a potential trail network in the area of Mountain Road and Nor'Wester View School, saying it would promote safety and walkability in the area.

Group wants the city to stop spending on wants, not needs, cut staffing levels and find efficiencies to lower the proposed 6.2 per cent before-growth tax-levy increase.
