Yes! I was just in Thunder Bay and talked to the locals, I was surprised to find there was a big Finnish influence like you said. Looks like you guys had a good time!
So cool! Yeah the Finnish influence and food was so neat to see.
Currently living in Toronto now, Maltese is the best little store ever
It’s so cool, we kept getting sandwiches and international goodies for the road trip!
This was one of the best shout outs on T Bay I have ever heard. Thanks!
Bogdalas shop on Simpson street is great too, they have plenty of goodies for your polish appetite 💗... + plenty of little restaurant gems here.
Born in 64 in Fort William, now named Thunder Bay after the amalgamation with Port Arthur. Live in Westfort all 60 of my years and will be buried looking at Mt Mckay from the cemetery, just like i see it out my back door every day
Thank you for stopping in! I love showing my out of town guests around as there is a lot to experience. I am going to post this on my facebook page and see if it gets grabbed for marketing.
I've lived here for 40years and love my home town! I would add that we have many Pow Wows up on Anemki Wajiw,the stands in the background at the base of the mountain are surrounding a most excellent sacred dance arena.Fort William First Nations hosts largest gathering usually at the end of June and all are welcome. Thanks for highlighting Thunder Bay!
This is a pretty good video, I was searching info on Thunder Bay and this is one of the few videos that isn't just a collage of photos from Google
THANK YOU for sharing your experience in Thunder Bay
Thunder Bay is actually an amalgamation of two cities so it is spread far. I’ve lived here most of my life and if you are into outdoors activities, you’ll love it!
I was born in Thunder Bay. Have a couple relatives there still.. I miss the area
I love how empty it is. Not crowded at all. We just went to Scotland and everywhere we went were people. We thought the Isle of Skye would be more isolated... whoops, completely wrong on that one. We are only about 8 or 9 hours away from here. We live a little south of Sault MI/Ontario.
I was there in the summer and I love it there
Most summers are beautiful. We sometimes have lots of ticks. The grass is green mostly. The night life can get exciting and easily put yourself in the hospital.

I was born in Thunder Bay.
The influence of the lake has everything to do with the climate here. Being near the shoreline it may be cool because of the breeze off of the cold waters of lake superior and in neighbourhoods farther from the lake it could be hot. The highest temperature I’ve ever experienced is 40°C Which is over 100°F. That doesn’t happen very often, your average summer day is around 27.
Everything is nicer when the sun is shining.
Thanks for the video I really like it!! I think it’s awesome you can pick your own amethyst!! This is awesome, especially because in the US amethyst products can be pricey. :)
I totally agree! It is so cool to see where the amethysts are mined, it’s like a sea of purple 💜
Great vlog! Where was the last shot taken? The view was beautiful :)
It was taken at the longest suspension bridge in Canada
Ouimet Canyon
Love your video of our city. Just a little tidbit... Thunder Bay has the largest Finnish population outside of Finland!
I love that! Thanks for adding that fun fact 💫
Never knew about such a huge Finnish population in Thunder Bay. I was just browsing at cities from the emptiest regions in Canada, only to find out you can get pancakes and sauna there.
Did u know, Thunder Bay, unorganized is so cold that it can be 36 or 28 degrees lower than that? NOW ONE CAN EVEN LIVE THERE to stay alive, where a snow jackets and a scarf also a snow hat so u won’t freeze
Thinking of selling my house and moving up there its too expensive in southern ontario
What no one tells you about Thunder Bay, is it is always in the Top 5 to Top 10 Crime towns as per the yearly CSI, and held number 1 from 2014 -17 for Homicides
Got nothing on Winnipeg lolz
We’re all not having to put bars on the windows of our homes yet, but I recommend not parking your 66 Corvette Stingray at the curb overnight. The homeless pretty much kick the crap out of each other, it’s fun to watch at a distance😊
Grew up in Sudbury Ontario and the wife and I live near Toronto now.I must have driven through Thunder bay 18 times in my life. After hearing these Hillbillies talk and laugh about killing natives I'm ashamed of them.DO NOT VISIT this murder city. My wife is Itlalian and I can't even trust that they won'yt murder her. These people need education and empathy up there in Hillbilly Land.
BUT, do go to Newfoundland and meet good people that are loving and kind and ;and is like art to the eyes.
Way to go Thunder Bay
Some people were comparing it to Detroit.
my home town
Cony Island sliders....
I’ve lived here my whole life. The outdoor recreation opportunities are convenient and inexpensive. The weather is trying to turn you into a popsicle half the year. Good employment and your balling in the hood. Keep your big city lifestyle to yourself and you’ll have a quite time. Our rent is just over $800 a month all inclusive. Most of the folks are over 50.
Since I moved from there to Vancouver I’ve gotten to try driving a Ferrari, McLaren, Rolls, Bentley and a Bugatti… you just can’t find anything like that there.. I used to see a Sunfire and think wow, nice car!! In Richmond a Benz is pretty much standard issue. I ride the bus, but I’ve met some insanely cool people here! The first time I met Steve Jobs he threw me out of a moving limo 😂
@@feederx08 Your the guy who bought Australia! I knew it. I'm so grateful you responded to my comment. I'd love to shake you hand but your hiding behind a computer screen.
According to latest census, average age of a Tbay resident is 43.7. Average age of a Vancouver resident is a year younger.
You are from the states “favor” vs “favour” spelling gave it away. Tbay is a great town. I have driven TBay to Duluth and back. Nice suggestion, just watch for a lot of deer!
Love it.
2:00 that is a petrified giant tree stump
Born here and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Well traveled across Canada and the US.
What’s your fav thing about living there?
Bugs are not as numerous in August.
The picture you show is not the sleeping giant. That's Lion Rock
Correct, which is in the sleeping giant provincial park
@@RunTheAtlas yes but the sleeping giant is the large rock that looks like a litterall indiginous style giant laying on his back out in the bay looking from the water front out into lake superior i m glad to see people.seeing the beauty of our city and the area as their is alot of ugly around here aswell theirs also 2 down town cores as thunder bay used to be 2 seperate citys prior to the 1970s where you were on the bridge by the cp station is down town port arthur and the south side down town core used to be fort william ontario their is another historic cp station on that side of town aswell glad you guys enjoyed your time here ❤❤
@@chriszachary8104 Doesn't look like they were even in the south side of Thunder bay and if so it sure wasn't for long.
I would cross that bridge.
I would very much cross that suspension bridge!
The views from the bridge were incredible!

Felt like 500miles
my ex and I's initials r caarved right on the railing at kakabeka falls where she records the down stream. slayyyy
I'm in and out of Thunder-Bay quite often. I think the city is a shithole.
The land around Thunder-Bay and the Big Lake are amazing. My favourite spot to hike is at the Giant.
I used to spend a lot of time at a camp on Sliver Islet, a beautiful and amazing place.
I have some really good friends in Thunder-Bay.
It is also a big hub for human trafficking, and drug trafficking.
Since it is one of the most isolated cities in North America it is a transit point for a lot of illegal activity, no surprise it is the murder capitol of Canada.
They did not mention the Parisiens in the video either.
i would not go on that bridge!!!!!!! heheheh
BUUUT there's NO passenger train service in Thunder Bay
Sad!!
Blame the Federal Government for that.
Also you can enjoy the homeless encampments and if you are walking anywhere bring change for the homeless. You get asked for money everywhere.
Yes like soutu Park episode wtf
As a former Thunder Bay resident, I can confirm that Vancouver is way better. 😢 instead of 8 months of winter we get one. There’s less drunken Indians, as the type you meet here are the tall proud Indians who work and drive expensive vehicles.
In Thunder Bay your chances of meeting anyone cool is less than zero, unless they’re visiting you. I could talk for hours about all of my adventures since moving here, suffice it to say that the day you put that town behind you will be 😂the start of your actual life. ✌️🧐
Average Canadian
Little makeup
It’s a prison town
This comment is sad to see. I am from Thunder Bay, as I am sure you are, and it is only a prison if your mind favours it as such. You sound like my boys who can be pessimistic , not seeing the light from the dark that is of the self.
I'm in Thunder Bay right now for a family wedding. We always feel welcome here for sure. ❤

Watch walking dead….
Was it shot here?
