## Amenity Distribution in Fort William

Fort William contains 35 mapped amenity points across three distinct categories. Recreation facilities represent the largest group with 18 entries, followed by 9 parks and 8 schools. This distribution indicates a focus on leisure and educational infrastructure within the neighbourhood boundary. The counts reflect static geographic points rather than active usage metrics or service quality assessments.

The school category includes institutions such as McKellar Park Central Public School and St. Patrick High School. These eight points establish the presence of educational facilities but do not confirm catchment areas or enrollment capacity. Similarly, the nine park points include named locations like Kam River Park and Paterson Park. These figures provide a baseline inventory of physical assets without detailing maintenance status or accessibility. Sources:

## Recreation Facility Presence

Eighteen recreation points are mapped within Fort William, forming the majority of the local amenity inventory. Specific named facilities include the Fort William Curling Club and Widnall Pool. The remaining entries are categorized generally as recreation without individual identifiers in the source data. This concentration suggests a significant footprint for community leisure activities in the area.

The single city-wide recreation program listed is skating at Prince Arthur's Landing, which operates outside the Fort William scope. No specific programs are attributed directly to the 18 local recreation points. Consequently, the data confirms physical location only, without establishing operational schedules, seasonal availability, or resident participation rates. Further verification would be required to link these points to active services. Sources:

## The strongest counter-case

The local evidence consists solely of static point locations without data on quality, access, or market performance. Sources:

## City market context

From the Thunder Bay market article, 11 October 2026:

Thunder Bay's September 2026 single-family benchmark price fell 3.3% year-over-year, while the all-property median sale price rose 2.2% year-to-date. Days on market increased to 18, indicating a slight cooling in buyer urgency despite stable sales volume. Thunder Bay's housing market exhibits divergent price trends between single-family benchmarks and overall medians, with rising days on market suggesting a gradual shift toward balanced conditions rather than sustained acceleration.
