    Yes! I was just in Thunder Bay and talked to the locals, I was surprised to find there was a big Finnish influence like you said. Looks like you guys had a good time!

    I've lived here for 40years and love my home town! I would add that we have many Pow Wows up on Anemki Wajiw,the stands in the background at the base of the mountain are surrounding a most excellent sacred dance arena.Fort William First Nations hosts largest gathering usually at the end of June and all are welcome. Thanks for highlighting Thunder Bay!

      Most summers are beautiful. We sometimes have lots of ticks. The grass is green mostly. The night life can get exciting and easily put yourself in the hospital.

    I love how empty it is. Not crowded at all. We just went to Scotland and everywhere we went were people. We thought the Isle of Skye would be more isolated... whoops, completely wrong on that one. We are only about 8 or 9 hours away from here. We live a little south of Sault MI/Ontario.

    Did u know, Thunder Bay, unorganized is so cold that it can be 36 or 28 degrees lower than that? NOW ONE CAN EVEN LIVE THERE to stay alive, where a snow jackets and a scarf also a snow hat so u won’t freeze

  • @FrmTBay

    The influence of the lake has everything to do with the climate here. Being near the shoreline it may be cool because of the breeze off of the cold waters of lake superior and in neighbourhoods farther from the lake it could be hot. The highest temperature I’ve ever experienced is 40°C Which is over 100°F. That doesn’t happen very often, your average summer day is around 27.
    Everything is nicer when the sun is shining.

    I’ve lived here my whole life. The outdoor recreation opportunities are convenient and inexpensive. The weather is trying to turn you into a popsicle half the year. Good employment and your balling in the hood. Keep your big city lifestyle to yourself and you’ll have a quite time. Our rent is just over $800 a month all inclusive. Most of the folks are over 50.

      Since I moved from there to Vancouver I’ve gotten to try driving a Ferrari, McLaren, Rolls, Bentley and a Bugatti… you just can’t find anything like that there.. I used to see a Sunfire and think wow, nice car!! In Richmond a Benz is pretty much standard issue. I ride the bus, but I’ve met some insanely cool people here! The first time I met Steve Jobs he threw me out of a moving limo 😂

      We’re all not having to put bars on the windows of our homes yet, but I recommend not parking your 66 Corvette Stingray at the curb overnight. The homeless pretty much kick the crap out of each other, it’s fun to watch at a distance😊

      Grew up in Sudbury Ontario and the wife and I live near Toronto now.I must have driven through Thunder bay 18 times in my life. After hearing these Hillbillies talk and laugh about killing natives I'm ashamed of them.DO NOT VISIT this murder city. My wife is Itlalian and I can't even trust that they won'yt murder her. These people need education and empathy up there in Hillbilly Land.

    As a former Thunder Bay resident, I can confirm that Vancouver is way better. 😢 instead of 8 months of winter we get one. There’s less drunken Indians, as the type you meet here are the tall proud Indians who work and drive expensive vehicles.
    In Thunder Bay your chances of meeting anyone cool is less than zero, unless they’re visiting you. I could talk for hours about all of my adventures since moving here, suffice it to say that the day you put that town behind you will be 😂the start of your actual life. ✌️🧐
