For many years the Thunder Bay Public Library has distributed the guidebooks and maps for the Big Boreal Adventure. In addition, they have other equipment that the community can access, such as binoculars, fishing rods, compasses, magnifying glasses and other items that support the nature version of the Big Boreal Adventure. Most recently, the library has been very active with the Big Boreal Adventure Goes Historical project and their support has been invaluable as we research the history of Thunder Bay.
