Thunder Bay may be no sunny Mexico or super fly big A., but it certainly has its charms. I mean, the Sleeping Giant, Old Fort William, Kakabeka Falls... who would say these aren't primo tourist gems.

While we're on the subject of semi-precious stones, did you know that Thunder Bay is also in the heart of amethyst country? This gem was apparently found in such abundance that Ontario named it its official gemstone in 1975. Pretty cool, eh? If you thought that fact was neat-o, just wait, we've got lots more where that came from. Oh yes, Thunder Bay is a regular treasure trove of fun facts and interesting trivia just waiting to be mined!
