This is Canada's western terminus for ocean-going freighters which ply the St. Lawrence Seaway. Not only is Thunder Bay Canada's third largest port, it also boasts to be the largest grain-handling port in the world, holding its precious cargo from the Prairies in huge elevators at the mouth of the Kaministiquia River. There's plenty to do in Thunder Bay - mine your own amethysts, visit the numerous parks, gardens and museums or tour the Thunder Bay Art Gallery, the only public galery in Canada that focuses on aboriginal art.
Terry Fox Monument. Just east of the city, this impressive bronze statue of Terry Fox is located at an awe-inspiring lookout near where he ended his Marathon of Hope run.
