THUNDER BAY — City staff have outlined their intention to update a “master plan” for the Pool 6 lands, setting the stage for further development of the city’s waterfront south of Prince Arthur’s Landing.
Developments at Pool 6 could be “transformative” for the city, in much the same way as the construction of Prince Arthur’s Landing, which began in 2009. Science North has also already announced Pool 6 as its preferred site for a proposed science centre, a prospect widely welcomed by local leaders but still in the development phase.“Considering the opportunities that are presenting themselves down at the waterfront now — we do have a growing Great Lakes cruise ship industry, as well as developers who are interested in the land, including Science North — certainly it’s a good time to update that plan,” she said.
The 2015 master plan envisioned uses including a mountain biking and skating area, Nordic spa, a large multi-use field, and a pavilion for cruise ship visitors.“We haven’t had interest yet from a private developer looking at a Nordic spa option, so [the plan will ask], is now a good time to change those uses? But certainly looking for the community to come out and say if they still are interested in the multi-use field, large areas for recreation and sport.
“This is potentially very exciting,” he said. “I think what the City of Thunder Bay has been able to accomplish on the waterfront has been herculean, and has really changed the dial in terms of the city and the experience that not only visitors have, but the people who live here.”He said some of the guiding principles identified in the 2015 plan remain important, such as public access, environmental regeneration, and incorporating Indigenous culture .
“At this point in time, I’m not going to get dogmatic, because we’re going to go through a process in terms of revising the master plans, and seeing what the public’s desires are. So I’m not going to say right now absolutes on anything.”
