THUNDER BAY A Toronto man was sent to hospital with serious injuries following a shooting incident on Thursday night on the city s south side.
Police, in a release issued on Friday, say they were called to a disturbance in the 400 block of Archibald Street, just after 7 p.m., where they learned the victim had been transported to Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre for treatment of his injuries, which are believed to have been sustained during the alleged assault.
The Power Centre talks about the changes the pandemic has brought about.
Locally owned and operated, the Power Centre has been selling TVs and home and car audio since 1988. Over the years, the store has expanded to smart phones, car starters, video systems, barbecues, major appliances and so much more.
The pandemic has brought many changes to retail businesses, as well as dramatic shifts in consumer behaviour. The Power Centre has been successfully adapting to the ever-changing face of retail for over three decades, and the past year has been no exception.
“We have adapted by updating our website, offering free contactless delivery and changed our advertising strategy,” says general manager Dave Radford. “The Power Centre is very well known for having those huge one-day super events, where we had lineups of hundreds of people. Those days are gone,” he says. “We try not to create that frenzy. Now we do a whole month-long sale.”

Surgeries originally pushed because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic could be brought back next week.
The province ordered all hospitals to immediately put off procedures on April 22nd in response to a rising case of COVID-19 cases in the third wave.
The order from Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. David Williams, also included hospitals the ability to transfer patients without their consent.
When it comes to the return of surgeries, Thunder Bay Regional Health Science Centre President and CEO Rhonda Crocker-Ellacott said: “We’re looking at being able to add additional capacity for surgeries and procedures that are deemed urgent and emergent under Directive Number Two. The hospital has the authority to make this decision providing it falls within the framework of the work being essential.”
THUNDER BAY - The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre is reminding people in the northwest that cancer screening remains an important preventative health measure even during the ongoing pandemic.
Prevention and Screening Clinical Services with the TBRHSC has launched a new campaign, Cancer Doesn’t Stop for COVID-19, encouraging people to get routinely screened for breast, cervical, and colon cancer.
“We can’t underestimate the importance of cancer screening,” said Tarja Heiskanen, manager of Screening and Assessment Services at TBRHSC.”
“Routine screening can find certain types of cancer earlier, before you have any symptoms. Detecting cancer early means that there is an even better chance of treating it successfully. As an example, colon cancer is 90 per cent curable if found at an early stage.”
