Industrial growth is to be strenuously encouraged but "Quality of Life" is to be retained. It is contended life in Northwestern Ontario now has many fine qualiti es not found elsewhere. This relates to low pollution, easy access to recreation and relaxed, healthy living. The Design for Development Report recommends substantial Federal and Provincial Government incentives for the establishment of new industry over and above the current government incentive plans. It suggests Thunder Bay is a choice spot for establishment of a smelter, refinery or primary metal industry. Greater end use of forest products is encouraged. The primary goal for increased employment in the next 20 years should be a minimum of 18,000 and an optimum of 54,000 new jobs. Implementation of the first phase of the development program should commence early in 1972. PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE Thunder Bay, in addition to participating in the Design for Development Program, has been studiously looking to the future in its own planning. An Official Plan for Thunder Bay has been unveiled, to direct proper growth of the City and its suburbs over the next 20 years. A Transportation Study has been completed outlining a forecast of how traffic can be channelled in the City up to 1990. A Regional Water Supply and Pollution Control Study was completed in 1969 by the Ontario Water Resources Commission to guarantee full use of water facilities in the city, yet control adverse pollution of waterways. This study required indepth review of past experience and the expected growth to the year 2000. A Survey of Internal Transit Facilities is currently underway as well as a survey to determine expansion possibilities of the City-owned Telephone system, one of the few and most profitable in Canada. A Thunder Bay Urban Renewal Project was announced in October 1970 to rebuild the core business section of Port Arthur Ward. Over $15 million dollars of private c~pital will be invested in the Development and $4 million by governments. The initial rebuilding will commence in the fall of 1971 with the expansion totalling $3 million of the T. Eaton ComP,any store and the $1~ million Sayvette Store. Included in this program is the installation of a connecting climate-controlled mall of all buildings. �AND --- R E S OURC E S Historically, silver is the basic mim~ral found in Thunder Bay area. However, technology has radically changed this and now iron ore is King, followed closely by nickel, copper, zinc, etc. IRON ORE Atikokans 120 miles west is the base operation for Steep Rock Iron Mines, Inland Steel and Caland Ore. Steep Rock Iron Mines ships raw ore and pellets. Bruce Lake, 315 miles west is the site of Steel Company of Canada iron ore operations. Stelco ships only pellets. The others ship both pellets and raw ore. Most pellet shipments are processed through Valley Camp Coal Ltd., modern belt loading facilities on the Mission River, Thunder Bay. The storage capacity exceeds 1½ million tons. Some pellets and all raw ore is also shipped over a CNR ore trestle. FUTURE RESERVES -- IRON Anaconda Iron Company Limited uncovered and developed a massive iron . ore body and mothballed it for the future. The open pit mine is located 40 miles north of Nakina. Steep Rock and Algoma own a large iron ore body in the Lake St. Joseph area which very shortly will have to be opened up by a massive operation including installation of railroad . services and lifting of hugh quantities of overburden. NICKEL International Nickel Company is completing a $32 million mine site and concentrator at Lake Shebandowan, 50 miles west of Thunder Bay and will likely go on stream early in 1972. Concentrates will be shipped to Sudbury. Great Lakes Nickel Ltd. is arranging finances preliminary to building a $100 million plus mine, smelting and refining complex, 38 miles south of Thunder Bay to process up to 140,000,000 tons of nickel, copper, zinc, platinum and pladium ore. URANIUM Large areas near Dryden were staked in a uranium rush late in 1967. Claims are currently being examined. �*2* COPPER AND OTHER BASE METALS Mattabi Mines Limited has expended $36 million plus other expenditures to construct a mill and concentrator to extract 12½ million tons of base metal ore from its property at Sturgeon Lake, 185 miles west of Thunder Bay. The mill went on stream in the fall of 1971. South Bay Mines, Utchi Lake, southeast of Red Lake went into production in the sumer of 1971 at 500 tons daily. Construction cost to get the mill into operation exceeded $5 million. COAL SHIPMENTS Substantial shipments of Alberta, B. C. and Saskatchewan coal are forecast if test shipments arranged in 1970 through the Port of Thunder Bay prove economically successful. Stelco is interested in coking coal and Ontario Hydro for the thermal plants in Southern Ontario. Up to 5 million tons may be required. FORESTRY Eleven paper mills in Northwestern Ontario are assured of continuous wood supplies from the substantial forest cover. Great Lakes Paper, for example, consume 800,000 cunits annually in the largest paper and Kraft mill east of the Rockies. • New technology in wood harvesting has maintained extraction costs in a rising cost market. Machines are used extensively. New roads, new transportation systems in the future will undoubtedly open up unknown riches i~ the area. �l!!!!!!!!f E. ! ~!

Some day soon it is anticipated a new and exciting era will open up the north with new growth centres and greater populations of people enjoying a new and clean environment. Thunder Bay is on the extreme southern edge of the contemplated development corridor on the Northwestern shore of Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world. The lake, 601 feet above sea level, controls the winds passing over it and tempers the climate of the City both winter and sunwner. It could be named a "built-in air conditioner". WEATHER RECORDS Records have been kept since 1879 and indicate temperatures average over a period 1921 - 1950 as follows: -- (Degrees) Annual Average January Average April Average July Average October Average Extreme Maximum Extreme Minimum 36.8 7.6 35.4 63.4 42.6 (Ottawa Average 41.6) (Montreal Average 15.4) (Toronto Average 43.8) (London Average 69.6) (Calgary Average 42.1) 104 -42 Killing frost -- last in spring average June 4, first in fall average September 7. Average annual total precipitation -- 27.62 inches Average annual total snowfall -- 68.8 inches (Montreal average -- 100.8) Sunshine records show an average of 2174 hours per year making Thunder Bay one of the brightest and sunniest cities in Canada. • Average yearly wind is 8.4 M.P.H. The prevailing winds in winter are west and northwest and in surrmer easterly winds edge westerly for the prevailing direction. Humidity is extremely low at all times of the year and the area is a delightful refuge for sufferers of Hay Fever. Thunder Bay is located in the centre of Canada as the hub city of what is commonly known as Northwestern Ontario. Actually, this is a misdirection as geographically it is in the southwestern portion of the Province of Ontario -- Latitude 48.23 N. Longitude 89.16 W. The City is in the Eastern Standard Time Zone, but reverts to Eastern Daylight Saving Time during the same period as other major cities. �!! QR T !!IE.li !l!!lAE.lQ D E V E L O P ME N T CO E.f..:. P E R F O R MA N C E ----------~ The Northern Ontario Development Corporation, a Crown Corporation of the Province of Ontario, maintains a head office at 134 S. May Street, Thunder Bay, F, Ontario. A subsidiary office is in Tinmins, Ont. The purpose of the Corporation is to assist in the develop~ ment of secondary industry in Northern Ontario extending from the Manitoba border to the Quebec border and approximately north of Hwy. 17. The City of Thunder Bay is eligible for full qualifications for its business interests. FORMULA FOR CALCULATING LOANS: For Canadian companies qualifying for Perfonnance Loans, NODC can assist with cash grants of up to 50% of capital costs of building and equipment up to a maximum Perfonnance Loan of $500,000. For companies other than those of Canadian registry, the formula is as follows: 33 1/3% 25% of the first $250,000 of building and equipment cost. of the balance of building and equipment cost up to a maximum loan of $500,000. 1. Loans are progressively forgiven over a five-year period at 10% per year. Final forgiveness is in the 6th year. No interest or charges are involved. 2. Maximum $500,000 additional loan at regular interest rates can bearranged under certain circumstances for both categories of Canadian and foreign companies. 3. The loans are income tax exempt. Businesses establishing in Thunder Bay are eligible for either the Federal Incentive Program and Grants or the Northern Ontario Development Corporation Perfonnance Loans, but not both. In practice it is desirable to approach the Federal Department of Regional Economic Expansion for financial assistance. Should this assistance be inadequate or refused, an approach can then be made to the Northern Ontario Development Corporation for their assessment of the application. For further infonnation on the Northern Ontario Development Corporation Perfonnance Loans, contact the head office ~t 134 S.

All industry in Northwestern Ontario is eligible to participate in the program. In June, 1971, the Ontario Equalization of Industrial Opportunity changed certain terms of grants to industry. Canadian companies are now eligible to receive 50% of the cost of construction and equipping new plants. The old fonnula of 33 1/3% and 25% continues for foreign-owned companies. ELIGIBILITY {l) Secondary manufacturing companies establishing new facilities or making approved additions to existing facilities. The grants will also be available to companies building a new plant. If 75% of the machinery installed is new, then the grant will also apply on the machinery. Companies buying, . renting or leasing a building and installing machinery can apply for a loan on the machinery only, if such machinery is 75% new. (2) Warehouses and other concerns of a closely related nature to secondary industry, which can contribute substantially to the local economy. (3) Tourist developments that will effectively raise the occupancy levels in local tourist establishments. NOT ELIGIBLE {1) Primary industries such as mining, logging, fishing and agriculture. (2) Service industries. (3) Companies transferring operations from other areas of the Province into an incentive area only to become eligible for the grant. (4) Those companies not organized on a businesslike basis and lacking management ability and proper financing. (5) Companies receiving financial assistance under any other government program such as Federal Incentives, ARDA, etc. CALCULATION OF GRANTS For Canadian companies 50% of the full cost of construction and equipping of plant up to a total Performance Loan of $500,000. �* 2* FOR FOREIGN-OWNED COMPANIES 33 1/3% of the first $250,000 of the approved capital cost of new buildings and equipment. 25% of the balance of the approved cost of these facilities. The maximum grant will be limited to $500,000. ADMINISTRATION OF GRANTS Grants are administered by the Northern Ontario Development Corporation, 134 South May Street, Thunder Bay, F, Ontario, and will be made available to qualifying finns in the fonn of interest-free loans for a period of six years. Each year 10% of the loan will be forgiven through the 5th year. At the end of the 6th year, provided the company has stayed in the locality and perfonned satisfactorily, the balance of the loan is forgiven. CONSULTANTS Expert consultants are provided to assess applicants for loans. This service is free. Advice is also supplied by consultants on business matters, finances, etc., to any company. The Northern Ontario Development Corporation may also provide Conventional loans to deserving firms, ineligible for Perfonnance Loans, or unable to secure adequate financing through nonnal banking channels. Speculative enquiries to Northern Ontario Development Corp~ oration consultants for "Performance Loans" are not encouraged as it is most difficult to assess a project without complete and factual information. It is desirable to have a fully documented outline of the projected installation, financial background and future planning, available for examination by the NODC consultants. All inter.views are strictly CONFIDENTIAL. �THE CITY OF UJm;JgafZfUJP ONTARIO DEVELOPMENT BUREAU OF THE CITY OF THUNDER BAY, 193 Arthur Street, THUNDER BAY, P, ONTARIO. 807-344-2341 B.I§.10.[Ab_ DEVELOPME_ttT I NC E NT I V E S ACT --- Bill C-202 creating the Regional Development Incentives Act was first read May 26, 1969, and became law July 1, 1969.

(IRAP} INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Program was initiated in 1962 by National Research Council. Assistance is in the fonn of grants on a 50-50 basis with industry, primarily for applied research and development up to, but not including, pre-engineering preparation for production. Financial assistance is concentrated mainly of relatively long tenn research through the establishment of new industrial research teams or the expansion of existing research groups. Conmercial security of industrial projects is,maintained and all title and rights to research results are retained by industry. For details, contact Secretary, NRC Comnittee on Industrial Research Assistance National Research Council Ottawa, Ontario �* 3* {PAIT) PROGRAM FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY Direct financial assistance, administered by the Department of Industry, to stimulate sound industrial growth through the application of· science and technology and upgrade technology and innovation in industry activity by underwriting specific development projects which involve a significant advance and if successful, offer good prospects for coRlllercial exploitation. Under the program, for Canadian companies undertaking development projects, the Department can share up to 50% of the cost of special equipment and prototypes. When the projects have been successfully put into colTlllercial use, the company will be required to repay the Department's contribution with interest, on an arranged basis. If the project is not commercially successful, the Department's contribution need not be repaid.

This first step is a long-tenn plan of development to open up vast, inhabitable but untapped, potentially rich natural resources. Problems are being attacked in a systematic manner and long-held ideas that extracting the northern natural resources economica)ly was impossible are being rapidly discarded. One hundred twenty-five industrialists, economists, and academics discussed and argued the pros and cons of the initial concept at this week-long conference. Since then, members assigned to special Task Forces have spent 60,000 man-hours travelling 1,000,000 man-miles travelling and examining the 4,000 mile arc stretching from coast to coast and 200 500 miles wide, and known as the "boreal forest" of Canada. Officials have also visited Scandinavia and the Soviet Union gathering information for further research. A final Report of the Conference and travels is now prepared and in the hands of the Federal and Provincial Governments. No ready-made answers are forthcoming but step by step . progress is being made. The plan is long ter111 -- aiming at the need in the year 2000 for more space to settle an ever increasing population demanding job opportunities and the necessities of life. THUNDER BAY, being the only city in the entire corridor, stands to gain substantially from the initiation of this pioneering effort. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
