Air service returns: North Star Air links Thunder Bay and Fort Frances

Hospital vows to protect care while closing a $7.6M gap

With nine months left in its three-year housing accelerator program, the city has approved permits for just over a third of its affordable-unit target — and councillors are weighing how to pick up the pace before the clock runs out.
Shelter House’s outreach van is off the road for the weekend
Shelter House’s SOS outreach van is parked for at least the weekend after mechanical trouble. The van is a lifeline for vulnerable residents, and crews are working to get it back on the streets.
