THUNDER BAY — Mayor Ken Boshcoff says he’s optimistic a sit-down with Northern Development Minister Greg Rickford earlier this week has set the stage for a strong working relationship with the province.
While Boshcoff didn’t point to specific actionable items coming out of the meeting, he called it largely a chance to build a foundation for the city’s relationship with the province for the 2022-2026 term of council. “We share a keen interest in attracting Northern investment, and bolstering Thunder Bay’s resource sector and local economy,” he said. “Ontario recognizes the City of Thunder Bay as an important hub for economic development and a key player in Northern supply chains.”
Boshcoff has called securing increased provincial and federal funding for social services and policing a top priority for his term, arguing Thunder Bay is severely underfunded given its role as a regional hub that attracts thousands from across Northwestern Ontario to access services and opportunities.
