How did it start
In August 2001, the United Way of Thunder Bay facilitated the first meeting of community partners to discuss the potential of bringing 211 to Thunder Bay.
This first meeting resulted in a collaborative effort of partners over several years to plan, develop and implement the 211 program in Thunder Bay and area.
Today, the 211 Ontario North service is delivered by the Lakehead Social Planning Council (LSPC) and continues to be supported by the United Way.
