The City of Thunder Bay is closing Chippewa Park following the Fort William First Nation’s decision to close all businesses starting Friday.
The City of Thunder Bay has worked in partnership with Fort William First Nation in response to their decision to close in order to ensure that essential services provided by the city will continue to have access.
Waste collection service for Sandy Beach users and Totem Trailer park residents will continue as scheduled weekly during the closure.
Access for Sandy Beach users and Totem Trailer park residents will continue, but individuals may be asked to provide identification to indicate their place of residence at checkpoints.
Security checkpoints will be put in place at Bannon’s Gas Bar on City Road and at the intersection of Mountain Road and Chippewa Road and be in place 24 hours a day.
Police, Fire and EMS will continue to have immediate access to Fort William First Nation for the safety of all residents.
