PAVING THE WAY! 🚧

Sidewalk paving is nearly complete as the City of Thunder Bay continues making progress on construction in the Waterfront District!

We're excited to see everything come together and appreciate everyone's patience throughout the process.

A big thank you to everyone who has continued to shop, dine, and support our local businesses along the way! 💛

Thank you for your patience.

🚧 CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Cumberland Street South 🚧

Beginning Tuesday, October 13, 2026, Red River Road at Court St will be closed.

🚶 Businesses Continue To Remain Open! Sidewalk access is maintained, and all businesses continue to welcome customers throughout construction.

The Parkade and Crooks Parking Lot are accessible by passing the pylons. For deliveries, limited access will be allowed for small vehicles on Red River Road; no transports. If delivery drivers need help finding the correct access point, they can speak directly with any construction crew member on-site. 🚗👷

We completely understand that navigating construction is annoying, and we appreciate you sticking with us through it all. Thank you for continuing to shop, dine, and explore local!
