THUNDER BAY – Thunder Bay’s city council tackled next steps on a proposed indoor turf complex, approved a plan to offer free menstrual products at city facilities, and contemplated new restrictions to open air burning rules Monday, in a meeting that stretched nearly until midnight. Council welcomes proposals for indoor turf facility The city will make a call for open-ended proposals from outside entities to build a multi-use indoor turf facility, after a previous version of the project proved too expensive to win majority support at council. The expression of interest process will come with no parameters on cost, location, or design – a feature Coun. Mark Bentz, who suggested the step, said could unearth more affordable options to build capacity for sports like soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, and more.
