Province building 12 new OPP detachments and regional HQ in Thunder Bay

As part of its plan to protect Ontario and keep communities safe, the government is building 12 new Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachments and a regional headquarters in Thunder Bay.

“Our government is making record investments to fight crime and protect Ontario communities,” said Solicitor General Michael Kerzner. “Once built, these new state-of-the-art facilities will respond to the demands of modern police operations and ensure the OPP have the tools and facilities they need to crack down on crime and protect our communities.”

In addition to building a new regional headquarters in Thunder Bay, the government is also building new OPP detachments in Ignace, Niagara, Bracebridge, New Liskeard, Burlington, Kenora, Lancaster, Red Lake, Sioux Lookout, Killaloe, Espanola/McKerrow and Wawa.

“This project demonstrates a shared commitment with our government to ensure the OPP is as effective as possible at keeping communities safe,” said OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique. “Providing our officers, civilian and volunteer members with these modern new facilities will better position the OPP to evolve as we strive to be our very best at delivering on our public safety mandate.”

In partnership with Infrastructure Ontario, the province is launching a competitive process to find qualified teams to help design, build, and finance the new detachments. Interested parties can visit www.merx.com to download the Request for Qualifications (RFQ).
