THUNDER BAY – Plans to hold the Salvation Army's annual Thanksgiving meal in person for the first time since 2020 have been scuttled by a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, the organization reported Friday.

“This is the time of year when we have so much to be grateful for, and it’s a lonely time for many people, so we’re happy to do this,” Ferguson said. Ferguson noted COVID protocols will be in place, and said the Thunder Bay District Health Unit had advised offering the drive-thru event was a safe alternative.A dozen or so volunteers from Thunder Bay Fire Rescue were on hand peeling more than 200 pounds of potatoes, a mainstay of any Thanksgiving dinner.

Kevin Anderson, who does public relations for the Thunder Bay Professional Firefighters Association, said the membership was eager to stop by the Cumberland Street shelter and help ensure Sunday’s meal goes off without a hitch.
