"Having done all of my family medicine training here, I experienced all
of the benefits of hands on experience I wouldn't likely find in larger centers.
I enjoy the balanced lifestyle Thunder Bay offers. In the summer I can swim at the cottage and in the winter I cross country ski and participate in a women's hockey league.

Life IS better here."
