The Thunder Bay Community Auditorium opened on October 16, 1985, and is home to the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra. In February 2008 the facility sought a naming sponsor to reduce its burden on taxpayers; Shaw Communications and TBayTel expressed interest but did not follow up by the March 27, 2008 deadline, so the name remained unchanged. The City of Thunder Bay provides $475,000 annually.
The city orchestra presents regular classical concerts and pop music evenings, complemented by performances from international artists. Visitors experience an active music scene that brings together professionals and regional talent.
The building has ample parking directly on site and is easy to reach whether you arrive by car. Visitors should arrive early to find good seating and have time to explore the lobby area.
The auditorium has an adjustable ceiling system that adapts for different performance types and optimizes acoustics. This technical feature allows the space to be reconfigured based on what is needed.
