Wondering what’s new around town? We take a closer look at what’s happening and what exciting events are coming up in our community.
It should come as no surprise that here at The Walleye, we love a good book. On March 6, we celebrate World Book Day: a time for avid readers, writers, and bookworms alike to come together in an appreciation of the written word.

Inspired by a fascination with Thunder Bay’s past, local photographer/videographer Tyler Sklazeski set out to bring the city’s history to life through video. The result is a one of a kind vignette, taking the viewer back to another time and through the bustling streets of the city as it stood then, which he was able to achieve with the assistance of AI technology.
