We want to encourage local residents to invite their friends and family to Thunder Bay this summer and explore the fantastic events, attractions and culinary experiences our city has to offer.” According to Tourism Manager Paul Pepe. “What better way to explore your own city and encourage your friends to visit than by providing them a chance to win a weekend at one of our iconic summer events.”

The Division invites residents and visitors alike to stop by the Terry Fox Visitor Center on Wednesday June 3rd between 10 am and 3 pm for coffee and persians, an opportunity to meet with travel advisors, pick up the new Thunder Bay Experience travel planner and get ideas for a great “staycation” this summer.
