More cameras will be coming to city streets in an effort to keep residents safe.

The Eye On The Street program works with City Council, Thunder Bay Police, tbaytel, as well as financial support from the Ministry of the Solicitor General’s Guns and Gangs Program.

After originally launching in 2005, the program has grown in Thunder Bay and will get more added closed circuit cameras installed in key areas of the city.

Footage and information from the video monitoring is released in accordance with the standards of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
