The City of Thunder Bay is launching an Arena Facility Renewal Strategy to guide the future of the community’s arena network. This work will ensure Thunder Bay’s arenas continue to meet the needs of residents, user groups, and the broader region.
On this page, you can learn more about how this strategy will be created and reviewed by City Council, and share your feedback through the survey below.
To build the Arena Facility Renewal Strategy, we want to hear from the community about how arenas are currently used, what is working well, and where improvements or changes may be needed. This feedback will play a key role in shaping the long-term direction of the arena system.
About the City’s Arena Network
The City currently owns and operates six arenas:
Fort William Gardens
Neebing Memorial Gardens
Grandview Gardens
Delaney Arena
Current River Arena
Port Arthur Arena
The City also owns the Thunder Bay Tournament Centre, which is operated by a third-party.
Thunder Bay’s arenas are an important part of the community, supporting recreational use like public skate, minor and competitive sport, and regional events. At the same time, many facilities are aging and require significant investment over the next 5-10 years.
The Arena Facility Renewal Strategy will help the City plan for the future by aligning facility needs with community priorities, usage patterns, and available resources.
See the Frequently Asked Questions section of this page for additional information.
