yes, lets revamp the marina this summer for the festival grounds to attract more people, and then lets start preliminary work for the next phase of pool 6. at the same time lets also put a homeless encampment beside the north entrance of the marina. you cant make this stuff up anymore..
and when the job is done in 3-4 years, there will be 200 layoffs. Unless they get multiple contracts, this plant isn't a long-term career for most people and i think the general public in thunder bay has figured this out.
not to get political, but our governments haven't done a thing about the crazy rising costs for groceries in the past few years. a lot of talk and no action. Costco will save a lot of people money as it is much cheaper than shopping at places like Walmart & superstore.
huge thumbs down to the lakehead public school board on this one. yes, the business should have probably done their due diligence and reached out in the first place but i'm sure they could have figured out a way to work together on this venture. these were a hot commodity a few years ago, especially at Christmas time. glad my family got their old high school hoodies before this got axed.
seems promising considering the previous group that ran the mall have pretty much run it into the ground with at times 1/3 of the store fronts being vacant.
intercity still gets quite a lot of foot traffic during the fall/winter months. considering thunder bay is somewhat of a hub for many northern communities that travel here for medical/sports and supplies, it shouldn't be struggling as much as it does to keep stores. have heard from employees in manager roles for stores in the past say the mall was charging stores a crazy high rent fee to be there. obviously stores need to pay to be there but when you have a bunch of store fronts regularly empty its a bad look.
read the article...Hello Kitty, Coca Cola, Marvel, Sesame Street, Disney, Pink Panther and Stranger Things are among the brands sold at Miniso outlets....those brands aren't Canadian.
that was my thought. Im not positive on how much fresh produce Costco carries though, but they have almost everything else. No Frills and Superstore are also less then 5-minute drives from this location in two directions.
