    Shuniah Resident's Guide 2019

    MUNICIPALITY OF SHUNIAH RESIDENT’S GUIDE LETTER FROM MAYOR Welcome to Shuniah I would like to extend a warm and inviting welcome to you and your family to our Beautiful Municipality. Our community is small but as mighty as the waves of Lake Superior hitting our shores. Shuniah is the Ojibway word for Silver, money or coin. It is the oldest Municipality in Ontario, incorporated in 1873. Shuniah once expanded to the US Pigeon River Border and included what is now the City of Thunder Bay, Neebing and parts of Oliver Paipoonge, and more. There is a strong history of Mining in our community of Silver and Amethyst. I invite you to visit our Amethyst Mines in the community. I also encourage you to take a look at our many programs that are offered at our MacGregor Recreation Centre, from yoga 4 days a week, to boxing classes, mobility, shuffleboard league, Brownies and Girl Guides for young ladies, cooking classes, Youth Recreation activities, and our Soil Mates Garden Community. It’s a great way to meet the fabulous energized residents of Shuniah. We have many committees, and are always looking to expand on what we can offer our community. We invite you to visit our businesses, and introduce yourself as new to the community so that they too can offer any of their services to you. Our Employees are subject matter experts in our community and are willing to help you navigate your way through what we have to offer. Also, your council is always approachable and available to hear from you.
