"Vote For Me"
#nowoelections
On May 25th the Lakehead Social Planing Council along with Lake Superior News, with support from the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce, are hosting a "Vote For Me" Program and Education Forum for prospective candidates in the upcoming Oct 27th election. It will be held in the Lake Superior Art Gallery which will provide future members of council to see our area and hopefully, when elected, work with your BIA to improve our area.

Pancake Breakfast
The other night at our AGM for the BIA, Craig stood up and quickly spoke of an idea that he has been brewing and would love to see become a reality.
The intention is to promote our neighbourhood in a positive and productive manner.
