Using funding from the federal Housing Accelerator Fund, Terralux is to include affordable units at a maximum monthly rent (as of 2026) of $1660\/month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The City isn&#8217;t stopping at those three parcels. It has an extensive list of other city-owned lands, including parkland, greenspaces, parkettes, and parks throughout Thunder Bay that they plan to surplus and sell off for development. Most recently, City residents learned about a proposed development in Junot Park. Although the proponent withdrew their proposal due to public outcry at building on a beloved park, the City hasn&#8217;t stopped their quest to sell off this park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The City has many parcels of land that would be better suited for development and densification. In fact, the City even commissioned a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thunderbay.ca\/en\/resourcesGeneral\/Housing-Strategy.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report <\/a>that provides a list of those parcels. Selling our parkland, greenspaces, parks, and parkettes, although easier and quicker for developers, does not result in a more viable and healthy environment for Thunder Bay to grow into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click on the pages above for information on each of the proposed developments. Please follow us to learn more about why we think this sets a terrible precedent for communities throughout our city and what you can do to put an end to selling our parks and greenspaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium is-resized pulse-image
