Science Cenre plans supported with $250k from CEDC

THUNDER BAY – Science North has received more support for its developing vision of a Thunder Bay science centre.The funds come from the CEDC’s Tourism Development Fund, funded through a municipal accommodation tax of 4 per cent on short-term stays at local hotels, with revenues of roughly $2 million a year split evenly between the city and the CEDC.

One location under consideration is at the waterfront, near the Pool 6 dock and a future art gallery. It’s the CEDC’s preferred location for the development, said tourism development officer John Cameron. The funds are an expression of confidence a science centre will bring not just cultural, but economic benefits to the city, said Eric Zakrewski, CEO of the Thunder Bay CEDC.
