Moving forward on plans for a multi-use indoor turf facility for Thunder Bay, Mayor Bill Mauro met with operators of two similar facilities in Winnipeg this week to learn more about how such a facility could meet the needs of our community.

“Given Council’s direction which identifies a multi-use indoor turf facility as a priority project, it made sense to look at what’s being done elsewhere in terms of functionality and operating requirements in order to assess what might be possible here,” said Mayor Mauro.

A report on a multi-use indoor turf facility for Thunder Bay is expected to be presented to City Council in June.
