City officials have dished out their concerns to provincial cabinet ministers.
A delegation led by Mayor Bill Mauro and Councillors Brian McKinnon, and Kristen Oliver along with City Manager Norm Gale, brought forward community issues to lobby for action and/or funding for Thunder Bay at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference.
As part of their presentation to the seven ministers, they brought up a list of concerns which included:
