August 4, 2026 – The Township of Terrace Bay and the City of Thunder Bay have entered into an agreement to support the construction of a new, modern ambulance base serving North Shore communities.
Under the agreement, the Township of Terrace Bay will construct and own a new building at 1006 Highway 17 in Terrace Bay, Ontario. The new station will be leased to the City of Thunder Bay on behalf of Superior North EMS (SNEMS).
The planned ambulance base will function as a district hub, serving the communities of Terrace Bay, Jackfish, Schreiber, Rossport, Pays Plat First Nation, and several surrounding unincorporated areas. The base will feature three drive-through ambulance bays, along with modern amenities and facilities for paramedics.
Superior North EMS, a division of the City of Thunder Bay, provides ambulance services throughout the City and District of Thunder Bay.

The Township of Terrace Bay is excited to introduce Sensory Swim, a new recreation opportunity designed to provide a calm, welcoming, and low-stimulation swimming environment.
Sensory Swim is intended to support individuals on the autism spectrum, those with sensory sensitivities, and anyone who may benefit from a quieter aquatic experience. Sessions are open to all ages.
As a pilot program, two sessions will be offered this summer:
Tuesday, July 14
6:00–7:00 p.m.
Tuesday, July 21
6:00–7:00 p.m.
What can participants expect?
• No music
• No whistles (unless required during an emergency)
• Reduced facility capacity (30 participants maximum)
• Calm, low-stimulation environment
Evening sessions were intentionally selected to provide cooler outdoor temperatures while maintaining a warm pool and reducing sunlight reflecting off the water, creating a more comfortable environment for participants with light sensitivities.
The Township welcomes feedback from participants and families as we evaluate this new program and explore future opportunities.
We look forward to welcoming everyone to the Terrace Bay Swim Pool this summer!
Check out the Terrace Bay Swim Pool Schedule for more.

Rehabilitation of Hudson Drive Water, Storm, and Sewer Infrastructure Receives Provincial Funding
Terrace Bay, Ontario — 2026/02/9 — The Township of Terrace Bay is pleased to announce that the Province of Ontario has approved funding toward the rehabilitation of water, sewer, stormwater and road infrastructure under the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program’s Health and Safety Water Stream (MHIP–HSWS)
This major infrastructure renewal will address critical water, stormwater, and wastewater needs along the entirety of Hudson Drive and potentially portions of Birch Crescent, supporting the long‑term safety, reliability, and resilience of Terrace Bay’s core infrastructure. The project will help protect existing housing, safeguard public health and safety, and ensure the community’s infrastructure remains strong for decades to come.
The Ministry of Infrastructure has committed up to $11,170,887 toward eligible project costs on a projected total project budget of $15M. The Township will contribute the remaining share of the project budget and will be responsible for any additional or ineligible costs that arise throughout the project’s construction phase. Construction is expected to begin in 2027 and be fully completed by 2029.
“We are grateful for the province’s support of this essential infrastructure investment,” said Mayor Paul Malashewski. “This project strengthens the services residents rely on every day and reinforces Terrace Bay’s commitment to maintaining safe, modern, and sustainable infrastructure.”
Before construction can begin, the Township will work with the Ministry of Infrastructure to finalize a Transfer Payment Agreement (TPA) and complete all required provincial processes, including Duty‑to‑Consult and Environmental Assessment obligations where applicable. Early project activities such as design and engineering may proceed while these steps are underway. Additional details, including timelines and construction impacts, will be shared with the community as planning progresses.
