THUNDER BAY — Nearly a year after the Finnish Labour Temple and Hoito Restaurant were destroyed by fire, Brad McKinnon has successfully pivoted from his original plan for renovating the historic structure to laying the foundation for a completely new build."It still hurts," he said, "because there was a lot of time and energy and dedication put into rebuilding the original Hoito.
A firm schedule for finishing various elements of the project is hard to establish at this point, McKinnon said. "We've had a lot of interest, which is very encouraging. A lot of people asking, a lot of people wanting to be the first ones in. It's very encouraging for someone like myself taking a chance and building a structure this size."
The foundation and underground parking area for Phase 1 of the new building have been completed, but framing won't happen until warmer weather returns.
