About Thunder Bay District
The area
Thunder Bay District covers about 102,900 km² of northwestern Ontario on Lake Superior's north shore, with about 146,900 people in 2021; the City of Thunder Bay had about 108,800. Around the city are Oliver Paipoonge (about 6,000), Shuniah (about 3,200), Neebing (about 2,200) and the townships of Conmee, O'Connor, Gillies and Dorion. Farther out are Greenstone (about 4,300, including Geraldton, Longlac, Beardmore and Nakina), Marathon, Manitouwadge, Terrace Bay, Nipigon, Schreiber and Red Rock. Unorganized territory covers about 96,300 km², with about 6,200 residents.
History
The north shore of Lake Superior falls under the Robinson-Superior Treaty, signed at Sault Ste. Marie on September 7, 1850. Fort William First Nation, Ojibway on the western shore of the lake, is a signatory. Fort William, on the Kaministiquia River, was the North West Company's inland fur trade headquarters from 1803 to 1821. The cities of Fort William and Port Arthur, with parts of Neebing and McIntyre, joined to form Thunder Bay on January 1, 1970.
Services and access
Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre has a 24-hour emergency department and takes referrals from across northwestern Ontario. Nipigon District Memorial Hospital, Geraldton District Hospital, Wilson Memorial General Hospital in Marathon and The McCausland Hospital in Terrace Bay also have 24-hour emergency departments. Highways 11 and 17, both Trans-Canada routes, run together through the Thunder Bay area; Highway 11 runs inland from Nipigon through Greenstone. Thunder Bay International Airport has Air Canada and Porter flights, and Bearskin and Wasaya serve northern communities. Large employers include the hospital, Lakehead University, Tbaytel and Thunder Bay Pulp and Paper.
Land and climate
The Lakehead Source Protection Plan, approved in 2013, protects drinking water sources around Thunder Bay. North of the city, the Gorham and Ware area holds Trout Lake and Hazelwood Lake, and the province names wildland fire, flooding and erosion as its most common natural hazards.
Before you buy
Each municipality issues its own building permits. The Lakehead Rural Planning Board handles zoning, severances and minor variances for Oliver Paipoonge, Neebing, Conmee, O'Connor, Gillies and the unorganized townships of Gorham, Ware and Dawson Road Lots 1 to 20. Elsewhere in unorganized territory, builders need a letter of conformity from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and may need provincial resource or highway permits. The Thunder Bay District Health Unit issues septic permits everywhere in the district. The Lakehead Region Conservation Authority covers Thunder Bay, Neebing, Shuniah, Oliver Paipoonge, Conmee, O'Connor, Gillies and Dorion; work in floodplains, on shorelines or near wetlands may need its permit, and its online screening map shows regulated land. The Crown Land Use Policy Atlas maps Crown land. From April 1 to October 31, open burning without a permit is allowed only from 2 hours before sunset to 2 hours after sunrise.
