The City of Thunder Bay has received an AA+ credit rating from S&P Global Ratings for the fourth year in a row.
The solid credit rating means Thunder Bay is deemed trustworthy by lending institutions.

Thunder Bay’s Commissioner of Corporate Services and City Treasurer, Keri Greaves, says the reaffirmed credit rating proves that Thunder Bay has solid finances.
