City Council redefining heritage designation for historic Chippewa Park Carousel building

Thunder Bay City Council has amended a bylaw that designates the historic Chippewa Park Carousel a Designated Heritage Property.

The carousel has spent the past few years undergoing a restoration process.

The historic carousel, built by C.W. Parker, is more than a century old, and has been in Thunder Bay since 1934.

Thunder Bay first designated the carousel a heritage property in 1991, but at the time linked the heritage designation to the lands on which the carousel sat.

A new building is under construction for housing the aged carousel, and should be completed in May 2026.

City Council voted on Tuesday to change the heritage designation of the park to acknowledge the location change.
