Pending ratification, council agreed to push back a final report on the facility to June 3 after it was discovered a deeper foundation dig would be necessary due to poor soil conditions at the site.
THUNDER BAY – City staff will continue their work to get shovels in the ground for the proposed indoor turf facility by June 2025.
“There were some soft soils that were found within the footprint,” explained Kayla Dixon, the city’s director of engineering and operations. Dixon told council that despite the added cost, the project still falls within the city’s approved financing strategy for up to $44.6 million. However, it would be over the $38 million upset limit for the facility approved by council last November.
“Council has asked for public engagement but we also have some stakeholder engagement to organize as well,” Dixon added.
