THUNDER BAY — A decision has been made on the decade-long topic of building an indoor turf facility in Thunder Bay.
"The city's annual funding gap, as reported through the asset management plan, indeed presents challenges. However, with careful planning and a thorough understanding and funding of life cycle maintenance costs, the city can manage these investments sustainably." Kayla Dixon, the city's director of engineering and operations, was on hand to answer councillors' questions.Results from the online engagement included feedback from 991 participants and outlined 73 per cent support for the current proposed location, while 27 per cent of those who answered the survey said they were not in support of the location.
Dixon confirmed that only mandatory requirements would be included in the RFP, along with a scoring matrix for additional amenities or ideas that contractors could offer in their proposals. Foulds agreed and chimed in that this is a legacy project, comparing it to the Canada Games Complex and what it's brought to the community over the decades.
