Place description: Thunder Bay is the second most populated city in the area of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. From the early 17th century, the lands of Thunder Bay saw European settlers and an important trading port was established on the banks of the Kaministiquia River. Its economy remained largely dependent on manufacturing and forestry, both of which have now become second to what is called the ‘knowledge economy’ which comprises education and research. Important landmarks/places nearby: The Thunder Bay Tourist Pagoda is a good tourist destination you can begin with. If you want a more scenic introduction to the city, you can visit the Mount McKay Scenic Lookout, the Fort William Historical Park, the Hillcrest Park and International Friendship Gardens. Thunder Bay Museum is somewhere you should go at least once to know the history of the place you would be studying in. Crime rate: The crime rate of Thunder Bay is 80.09 which is classified as high. Depending on the type of criminal offense, the crime rate of the city varies from moderate to very high. We recommend you look closely at the crime rate statistics and trends before making any final decisions. Nearby Airports: The Thunder Bay International Airport is just 11 minutes away from the university campus. When an international airport is this close to the place of your study, your commuting time while making travel plans reduces significantly. Your domestic international trips would be less chaotic with an airport this close. Nearby Subways and train stations: While in Thunder Bay, it would be a wise decision to make the most of the bus routes that connect you to the entire city. The nearest bus stops are just a minute away. Some of the nearby bus stops include: Nursing Building, Lakehead University, Oliver & Keith Jobbitt and Oliver & Sanders.
