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.
