Strengthening Connections Around the World Toshio Sugiyama, Gifu City Council Chairperson, Chief Peter Collins of Fort William First Nation, Gifu City Mayor Shigemitsu Hosoe and Keith Hobbs jointly ring the Peace Bell at City Hall
Kaminari Wan Taiko Drumming Group of Thunder Bay performs at the Cultural Exchange Dinner
The Wa No Mirai (Future of the Japanese) Kimono Dancers are a non-profit cultural organization
Thunder Bay welcomed a 24-member delegation from its Sister City of Gifu City, Japan, this July, on an exchange focused around partnerships and peace. Over two days, Mayor Shigemitsu Hosoe, along with nine other city officials and a 14-member traditional Kimono dancer group from Gifu City, toured City Hall, Lakehead University, and Prince Arthur’s Landing at Marina Park. The Delegation received presentations on the City’s Climate Adaptation Strategy, the Thunder Bay Regional Research Institute and the Regional Health Sciences Centre, the Thunder Bay Economic Development Commission, the Thunder Bay International Baseball Association and Golf Thunder Bay. Gifu and the former City of Yanaizu (amalgamated 2006) have been strong contributors of international students to Lakehead University going back to 1997, when an exchange agreement was established with Thunder Bay following
Gifu University’s North Americanwide search for an academic partner. Thunder Bay was selected based on the warm welcome received. Students from Japan have made a significant economic contribution to the City, while receiving a world-class education. The Delegation, along with Mayor Hobbs and Chief Peter Collins of Fort William First Nation, also participated in the annual ringing of the peace bell ceremony. Rung simultaneously in the respective cities, the bell recognizes the anniversary of the air raid bombings of Gifu City on July 9, 1945, an attack which killed nearly 1,000 people and left more than 100,000 homeless. Mayor Hosoe told the dozens who gathered at City Hall for the ceremony it was a night of horrors and the town of Gifu disappeared in only one night. The Peace Bell mourns the victims of Gifu and continues to encourage peace among today’s generation across all countries. "We never forget the importance of peace," he said.
The Gifu City visit came just days after Thunder Bay became the first city to proclaim International Sister Cities Day on July 15, recognizing the 60th Anniversary of Sister Cities International. “The City of Thunder Bay is proud to be a driving part of this global network with partnerships spanning the globe including our Sister Cities in Duluth and Little Canada, Minnesota, USA, Seinajoki, Finland; and Gifu City, Japan,” said Councillor Brian McKinnon, Chair - Sister Cities Advisory Committee. “These relationships have important cultural and economic impact and build partnerships in our communities.

Demolition Scenario A Next Steps to Determine Future of Victoriaville Complete Demolition Over 150 people attended the Public Open House, held on June 29, for residents to learn more about the business case and options for the future of Victoriaville Mall. Victoriaville was built in the late 1970s using the Ontario Downtown Revitalization Program with intentions to bring shoppers back and revitalize downtown Fort William. In operation for almost 40 years, Victoriaville is undergoing an operational review.
Victoriaville operates at a deficit. We want to know if the public sees Victoriaville as good value for money. ”
Demolition scenario with food court retained.
The following questions were asked at the Open House and through an online survey:
”
- Joel DePeuter, Manager – Realty Services
1. Does Victoriaville Mall improve the downtown? i.e. Is the intended purpose met?
After careful review of the financial feasibility, it is projected that Victoriaville requires an $8.6 million (M) investment in order to maintain the building over the next 10 years. Of that amount, $4.4 M includes capital repairs and $4.2 M is the projected operating deficit.
2. Is there sufficient public benefit to continuing to operate Victoriaville relative to its operating deficit? i.e. Is Victoriaville good value for money? 3. Is the cost to demolish Victoriaville and reopen Victoria Avenue justified if recovered by savings over time?
Complete demolition scenario.
Over 1,300 online surveys were received and the results will help guide Administration to recommend next steps for Victoriaville Mall. A report will be presented to Council in Fall 2016. For more information on the project, and to see the presentation, visit: thunderbay.ca/vicville

Those who attend can expect to enjoy talented local musicians, experience the local food truck scene and learn more about the many diverse community safety initiatives happening in Thunder Bay. “We know that active, vibrant public space is a major contributor to community safety and so these types of neighbourhood initiatives are important,” said Lee-Ann Chevrette, Crime Prevention Council Coordinator.

Supervised Injection Services (SIS) – Assessing feasibility of SIS in the city to explore whether people who inject drugs will use services, and any concerns they might have.

“I’m very proud of the work the community has done, and of the continued collaboration and collective effort of many groups and organizations across Thunder Bay,” said Cynthia Olsen, Drug Strategy Coordinator. “This report focusses on the real progress the Implementation Panel, the Working Groups and our community allies have achieved over the last year.”
