Peter Diedrich for Mayor of Thunder Bay
Change Can't Wait
Peter Diedrich is your candidate for Mayor of Thunder Bay to bring practical, urgent action to the issues residents face every day — economic growth, housing, safety, renewed infrastructure investment, and a city government that works.

Why I'm running for Mayor
“Thunder Bay deserves leadership that listens, decides, and delivers. For too long urgent problems in our neighbourhoods, downtowns and our city have been studied while residents, families and businesses wait. I'm running because I call Thunder Bay my home. I will not be a spectator anymore. Change Can't Wait — and this city and I am ready.”
— Peter Diedrich
