THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO, CANADA
Thunder Bay is known as "Canada's Gateway to the
West" for its location at the final navigational point
on the Canadian side of Lake Superior. Originally
founded as a fur trading post, a settlement was
established in 1803 and Fort William was erected.
In 1970, Fort William and neighbouring Port Arthur
were merged to form the City of Thunder Bay. Today,
it is one of Ontario's most vibrant cities and a center
of art and culture. Its Waterfront District is beloved
for its views across the bay of the Sleeping Giant, a
long line of mesas that resemble a giant lying on its
back.
Investigate the serene coastline of Thunder Bay
during an exhilarating zodiac ride or kayak on the
waters of Lake Superior. Learn about the region's
wildlife as you glide across the pristine waters.
Admire the scenery around you as you marvel at
views of the bay of the Sleeping Giant. Keep watch
for possible sightings of local wildlife and hear about
the ecosystems and conservation efforts of the
Great Lakes region. Or dive into the depths of Lake
Superior and explore the underwater environment
surrounding the Welcome Islands with an optional
submarine dive.
