Health Profile for City of Thunder Bay Integrated District Network
(IDN)
Introduction
This profile is one of a series of five profiles for each of the proposed Integrated District Networks (IDN)s.
Three of the five IDN areas correspond to three of four current sub-LHIN planning areas – Rainy River
District, City of Thunder Bay (and surrounding area) and Thunder Bay District (excluding City of Thunder
Bay and surrounding area). The fourth and fifth proposed IDNs are formed from the current Kenora
District sub-LHIN planning area. The Northern IDN is proposed to encompass Sioux Lookout and all First
Nations communities north of Sioux Lookout. The remaining part of Kenora District (including Red Lake,
Kenora and Dryden) will be referred to as Kenora District IDN.
The map illustrates the North West LHIN’s current sub-LHIN planning areas showing communities that
have acute care hospitals.
Figure 1: Map of the North West LHIN
The Thunder Bay City sub-LHIN planning area of the North West LHIN is comprised of the city of Thunder
Bay and the surrounding census subdivisions - Neebing, Oliver Paipoonge, Conmee, Gillies, O’Connor,
Shuniah and Fort William 52 Moving forward, it is proposed that the area will be referred to as the City of
Thunder Bay Integrated District Network.
