Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay is located in Northwestern Ontario, on the northwestern shore of Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes and it is known for its stunning natural landscapes, including the Sleeping Giant, a prominent landmark resembling a sleeping giant when viewed from the city. These features make Thunder Bay a unique and interesting place with a blend of natural beauty, rich history, and cultural diversity.

Thanks to its proximity to Lake Superior and numerous parks and natural reserves, Thunder Bay offers a wide range of outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, skiing, and boating. If you want to take beautiful pictures and share them with your friends, there are popular spots such as Kakabeka Falls, known as the "Niagara of the North," and the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. Thunder Bay has a rich history with Indigenous peoples, including the Ojibwe, who have lived in the region for thousands of years. European settlement in the region began in the late 1600s, with a French trading outpost on the banks of the Kaministiquia River.

The city's name comes from the bay it borders, originally named "Baie du Tonnerre" by French explorers. Thunder Bay boasts a vibrant cultural scene with several museums, galleries, and theaters. The Thunder Bay Art Gallery and the Thunder Bay Museum are notable institutions showcasing regional art and history. The city also hosts various festivals and events throughout the year.
