Thunder Bay left off strong mayors power list

TORONTO – Thunder Bay is one of three communities in Ontario’s Big City Mayor’s group left off the list of cities getting strong mayor powers.

“It’s pretty simple, we extended strong mayor powers to every community that enacted a housing pledge,” Clark said.TBNewswatch has reached out to Thunder Bay Mayor Ken Boshcoff, who is meeting with Ford on Friday alongside other big city mayors, for comment. In addition to housing, strong mayor powers give the mayor the ability to appoint a municipality’s chief administrative officer, hire certain department heads, reorganize departments, create committees of council, including assigning functions and appointing chairs, proposing the municipal budget — subject to council amendments — and vetoing certain bylaws, if the mayor believes they interfere with a provincial priority.
