THUNDER BAY – If he’s elected mayor, Gary Mack says he plans first to tackle the issue he knows best – Thunder Bay’s growing homelessness problem.
“I especially was focused on the social issue our city is facing. The police, the Chamber of Commerce, it seems like everyone agrees that we really have to deal with our social issues if Thunder Bay is going to move forward. I came to realize I was the perfect person to address those [issues], because I have 25 years experience working in those areas.”“We have tent cities, we have encampments, and I’m really afraid that those are going to become entrenched in Thunder Bay.
"We need to free up our police officers’ time so they can be focused on the serious crimes we’re facing in Thunder Bay, which is the gangs, the drugs and the guns," he said. "We need to take serious action on those issues. Police officers have 50,000 calls per year. Most of that is non-criminal and non-violent. That can be done by somebody else."
