A pair of in-person Open Houses and a Virtual event to seek your feedback on Thunder Bay’s new Zoning By-law.

It’s being updated to bring it into compliance with the Official Plan that was adopted in 2019.

“The new bylaw will make it easier for homeowners, businesses and industries to develop in Thunder Bay, and we have developed an innovative new approach to regulating development in the community.” said Leslie McEachern, Director of Planning Services. “Our goal is to provide opportunities for second units in most homes, allow businesses to change and grow their businesses within a standardized set of rules, and update parking requirements.”

The Open Houses will happen on Tuesday, November 23 at the Knights of Columbus on May Street (4:00-8:00 p.m.) and on Thursday, December 2 at the Oliver Road Community Centre.

The virtual event will take place on Tuesday November 30.

The draft bylaw will be available here until December 23.
