THUNDER BAY – Gratitude over election wins, a determination to spur economic recovery, and resolutions to find more time for exercise were among the common themes touched on by Thunder Bay’s political leaders in a series of year-end interviews.

Thunder Bay–Rainy River MP Marcus Powlowski said while the year had been full of developments, the Russian invasion of Ukraine stood out.
