THUNDER BAY – The City of Thunder Bay is formally backing Lakehead University in its fight to be heard in decisions over the future of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine.
Mayor Bill Mauro said at a Monday night city council meeting that he had spoken several times with Lakehead University President Moira McPherson, and was particularly concerned over suggestions that NOSM could potentially depart its campus on Lakehead grounds, or even abandon the Northwest entirely.
Council unanimously passed a resolution put forward by Mauro, endorsing an April 15 letter from McPherson expressing concerns to the province over plans to make NOSM an independent institution.
