The City of Thunder Bay, Ontario, is holding a public drop-in session on March 18, 2026, to discuss plans for designated encampment sites. The session will take place from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Intercity Shopping Centre.

This event will give residents a chance to see visual displays that explain how the city intends to manage these sites. Staff members will be available throughout the session to answer questions and listen to community feedback regarding the project.

The meeting is part of the city’s efforts to address homelessness and how public spaces are used in the community. By hosting the session in a high-traffic shopping area, officials want to make it easy for residents to participate in the planning process.

Information gathered from the public will help guide future decisions regarding these designated areas. This session is an open opportunity for all community members to share their thoughts and learn more about the city initiative.
