The City's Employee Spotlight series recognizes and celebrates our people and the great work they do serving the residents of Thunder Bay.
January Employee Spotlight: a look back
This month we look back at the Employee Spotlight series and reflect on our team and the meaningful work they do to keep our city running.
What began in 2020 as a way to appreciate employees during the COVID-19 pandemic, grew to encompass a wider connection with the community who resonated with the staff profiles we shared on social media.
We’ve enjoyed highlighting the purpose-driven people who make up our workforce. Their commitment to community is clear as they continue to provide the quality programs and services that help shape our city—past, present, and future.
From highlighting those on the frontlines of the pandemic, to present-day employees who share why they love working for the City on our new Careers pages, we’ve covered a lot of ground in five short years.
In 2024, we spotlighted employees working on exciting projects, such as Paula Cunningham with Build Thunder Bay, a housing initiative aimed at developing our city to become more modern, affordable, sustainable and prosperous, and Karen Kerk with CityStudio, an innovative program that links the potential of post-secondary students to City projects. We introduced new hires including City Treasurer Keri Greaves and Wellness Coordinator Brigitte Champaigne-Klassen, and we said goodbye to longtime City Manager Norm Gale and General Manager of Corporate Services Karen Lewis.
Of course, the employees we’ve profiled over the years and those yet to come are only a snapshot of the greater team here, and we wish to acknowledge all our employees who do great work serving our city every day.
Employees are encouraged to nominate a colleague for an upcoming Spotlight and help us shine a light on the great people doing great things in 2025! Nominate an employee today!
