What's next for Thunder Bay's Fort William Gardens?
CBC
The future of Thunder Bay's Fort William Gardens is before city council on Monday, with a report from administration recommending councillors approve a long-term investment plan for the facility.
The plan "will ensure the viability" of the Gardens for at least another 15 years. The timeline coincides with tentative plans to open a new facility in 2036, a report to council states
The resolution doesn't prevent the city from eventually moving forward with a brand-new facility.
The city has, of course, been through this before. A previous multi-year attempt to construct a new event and convention centre in the north core came to an end a few years ago due to a lack of funding support from other levels of government.
Coun. Andrew Foulds, who was also on council during the previous event centre process, said when it comes to a new facility, the city won't necessarily be starting from scratch.
"I think it is safe to say that the vision of the event centre does need to have a re-look," Foulds said. "But there was a lot of work done in terms of site, for example."
"I'm hopeful that some of the work that was done is still usable."
