Thunder Bay City Council addressed several key issues at their recent meeting, including the feasibility of pet burials in city cemeteries, a parking study on Sunrise Boulevard, and a deferral on decisions regarding outdoor rink options. Council ultimately decided against offering pet burial services due to space limitations, but they will undertake a traffic study and parking review on Sunrise Boulevard to address parking concerns. The council also deferred a decision on outdoor rink options until April, allowing for a more comprehensive analysis of rink utilization data and climate change impacts.
