THUNDER BAY – Mayor Ken Boshcoff looked to set the tone for the new term of Thunder Bay’s city council in an inaugural address Monday, calling on the municipal government to deliver clear progress on issues including economic development, homelessness, and climate change over the coming four years.
“We have a very full, indeed an overflowing plate of serious issues before us,” Boshcoff said. “But we knew that coming in, and are now here to serve.” He also further outlined plans he put front and centre during the election campaign to seek “special status” from the provincial and federal governments to recognize what Thunder Bay’s role as a regional hub.
“To properly, decently, and respectfully accommodate and address this… we must have provincial and federal designation as a regional support centre. This requires additional financial assistance for poverty, homelessness, affordable housing, addictions, crime, racism and discrimination, food assistance, and medical treatments.”
