What this is

Thunder Citizen is Thunder Bay’s public data, in one place — transit performance, council votes, city budgets, and more.

This information is already public, but it’s scattered across feeds, PDFs, and meeting minutes that most people will never read. We collect it, organize it, and present it.

We’d love to hear from you — questions, ideas or just hello. Drop us a line at hello@thundercitizen.ca.

How it works

Transit data comes from Thunder Bay Transit's real-time feeds. Council votes are scraped from the city's published minutes. Budget figures reference specific pages in official documents.
