FILE PITCHING IN: The Thunder Bay Chill have repurposed a rink at the Tournament Centre to allow them to operate indoor soccer in winter. Soccer-plex ideas sought by city hall CITY HALL By Ian Kaufman – TB Source

hunder Bay’s city council has thrown the door open to new Tpossibilities for an indoor turf facility, welcoming proposals from the private sector with no clear limits on what a new scope for the project could look like. Council voted unanimously Monday to launch an expression of interest (EOI) process, though several councillors were less than enthused about its prospects for success. Entities that submit EOI proposals will be able to present their own designs, suggest locations other than Chapples Park, and offer shorter-term solutions like a bubble, said Coun. Mark Bentz, who put forward the motion. Public-private partnerships to operate or pay for the facility will also be on the table. The move comes after council voted narrowly in March not to award a $39 million tender to build a design it approved in prin- ciple last year. At the time, councillors who voted down the tender said the facility’s rising price tag and the uncertain financial impacts of COVID-19 left them unable to support it. The local soccer community has expressed frustration over the city's indecision on how to respond since a privately-owned sports dome at the CLE collapsed in 2016, leaving thousands of players without a permanent indoor venue. The city needs to consider all available options to build capacity for indoor sports at a more acceptable cost, Bentz said Monday. Council is still set to receive a report from city administration in the fall, presenting a range of options to move forward with a turf facility. Bentz said his motion would simply add more poten- tial solutions to that menu. Limited-time offer.
