Mayor Disputes Survey Findings

Mayor Keith Hobbs isn't a fan of the Moneysense.ca's best places to live in Canada survey. Hobbs doesn't put much stock in Thunder Bay's 109th ranking out of 200 cities.  Hobbs note one glaring error on the list, the unemployment rate.   The survey has our city with an 8.4 per cent rate while the latest Stats Canada figure is 5.8 per cent.  Hobbs also disagrees with whether the City is walkable and bikable since we have a much longer winter than other Cities in the survey.
