The Victoriaville Centre is planned for demolition in 2022. (Ian Kaufman, tbnewswatch.com) THUNDER BAY – The City of Thunder Bay is eyeing federal funding to help cover the costs of redesigning Victoria Avenue following the demolition of the Victoriaville Centre, planned for 2022. City administration proposes to seek funding through the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative (CHCI), which offers grants of up to $250,000 for small-scale infrastructure projects that “adapt spaces and services to respond to immediate and ongoing needs arising from COVID-19.” City council will vote on whether to approve the application on Monday. A memo from Karen Lewis, general manager of development and emergency services, said the CHCI funding could be used to support design work and pilot projects associated with the reconstruction of Victoria Avenue.
