Headlines in Thunder Bay this Week
This week’s headliners in the City of Thunder Bay tackled health matters and police issues in the city. If you failed to read this week’s newsmakers, don’t fret. Here’s a short recap for you.
Officials from the Heart and Stroke Foundation pointed out that Thunder Bay has a high death rate from illnesses that afflict the heart, such as heart disease and stroke. Apparently, close to 3000 people each year are diagnosed with these diseases, forcing them to be confined in hospitals and undergo treatment. The foundation has promised to organize activities to combat this trend.
Health however, doesn’t seem to be a problem for Mike Link, aged 64, and his wife, Kate Crowley, aged 60. They’re planning to walk around the shoreline of Lake Superior, the 3rd largest lake in the world by volume. The 5 month journey will prove to be challenging for the couple, something only very few people have done before.
Thunder Bay’s Police Service had their hands full this week. The chief spoke to council and outline their problems and issues. Meanwhile, the city’s police officials took to the streets to apprehend those caught using cell phones while driving. Fortunately, only a few violated the new law.
