Discover all that Thunder Bay has to offer by land and water

Tim Bolen went on an adventure for his Rollin’ With Bolen segments and headed to Northern Ontario. He is making a few stops with Destination Ontario and his first stop was Thunder Bay.

Thunder Bay is known as Canada’s outdoor capital, with so many different things to see by land, water and on your plate.

Tim Bolen started his tour at the Fort William Historical Park on the territory land of the Anemki Wajiw. The park is a historic site with guided tours, camping and events. The park details the relationships that are forged between Indigenous Peoples and non-Indigenous newcomers. While there Tim visited the Anishinaabe camp which is just outside the Fort. The Ojibwe people have done a lot of work in the Fort and trade their work. Everyone gets along and have the common goal to live comfortably. Tim learned how to make bannock with Bankshenung.

His next stop took him to Goods and Co. for a culinary experience. The old Eaton’s building in the downtown core is now a market with vendors and an authentic vibe. Some of the vendors were home based businesses that needed a space during the pandemic, and everything in the building is thriving. If you are looking for a space with coffee, beer, food and local products, you’ll want to visit Goods and Co.

Lastly, Tim hit the water with Sail Superior to take in Lake Superior. On the water you can see the Sleeping Giant, which is an icon of Thunder Bay and the highest cliffs in Ontario. The water is great to sail on because you never know what water you are dealing with. You could sail on calm water, or choppy water, so whether you are are a beginner or want a challenge sailing, you’ll probably get it.

Tim had a fabulous time exploring Thunder Bay, and you can tune in tomorrow to see where he is going next with Destination Ontario.
