Peter Diedrich for Mayor of Thunder Bay
Change Can't Wait

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 for this city, and I am ready.”
