Thunder Bay is receiving $20.7 million from the Housing Accelerator Fund to continue building homes across the city.
THUNDER BAY — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in town today for a major announcement regarding housing.
"We could surrender and complain to the federal government, but we won't. We will have money to get these projects lifted and underway, but I would still think we can stay ambitious. If we prove ourselves, we'll be recognized for it, and justifiably continued funding will prevail." "What we did with the Housing Accelerator Fund was we sat down with the municipalities to talk about what actually can be done in the coming years," Trudeau said.
Thunder Bay is one of just a handful of Ontario municipalities that meet new provincial housing targets, and it will continue on that path with this funding."Not with all municipalities across the country, just the ones that are willing to be ambitious about changing the way housing is made in this country."
