Thunder Bay only climbs 52m from the lake (183m) to the highest points near downtown (235m), the highest built-up parts are 283m. When you approach Thunder Bay from the east, the last 15 or so km of highway before the city is higher up above the lake than the city. In some places, there is a 150m incline over only 2 km, which is pretty steep for non-mountains in this region.

Mount McKay, south of the city, rises 250m over a distance of only 350m.

Downtown Port Arthur. The gap between the two under-construction condos on the left and the government building in the centre will be filled in with a Delta Hotel later this year.

Mount McKay behind downtown Fort William's oldest high rise.

Awesome Tbay pics vid! Why haven't you posted any updates of Vue Condos! Is the Delta UC yet?

MolsonExport · #**2924** Posted **Jul 1, 2014, 3:39 AM**

outstanding QC shots, as usual.

Pretty decent projects for TBay and Moncton.

I loves me some Mt McKay. More TBay, please.

The first photo I posted shows both condos under construction, they're both topped out.

The Delta is supposed to begin construction "soon", that's the closest thing to a date they've given us. Under the contract they have with the city, it must be constructed at the same time as the condos, and be completed and occupied by 2017. The foundation is complete, they're probably just waiting for the other condo to finish up with the crane so they can move it over.

Haha I know that is them. That's why I asked why no photos during the actual construction stage? I'm sure the forum would love to see some Tbay construction as often as possible

Awesome to hear they are starting the Delta soon. I imagine it will be the most modern looking large building in all of Northern Ont when it's done. Very cool time for the Tbay waterfront. Is the first tower of Vue already occupied?

That is the nicest picture of Rimouski I have ever seen! Well done sir!

I really like what they have done with the new condos along the Red in the ole Peg.

They're not finished yet, they haven't even got a facade on either tower.

I didn't get many photos of the construction, I haven't had much time for photography over the past year or so.

Have you ever taken a picture of the view from Algoma and Red River? There's a pretty impressive industrial view looking south(ish) from there, but I know my cheap little camera would fail miserably at catching something so far away.

What you get for only having a camera phone with you... maybe some better pics will appear soon, but a "Cinema Under the Stars" event in the middle of downtown tonight. They say well over 2,000 in attendance:

They've run it for the last couple years; definitely a neat little thing to put on nestled in with the towers around.

Chadillaccc · #**2939** Posted **Jul 3, 2014, 1:19 PM**

That is really cool. Regina's Victoria Park is an awesome amenity to have right smack dab in the middle of the Central Business District.

Good memories of Regina. Love that town.
