Completion of the two expansion projects allows the province to forge ahead with construction of the massive Thunder Bay Correctional Complex.

The project to build phase one of the facility, which includes a twin-pad arena, a public library branch, an indoor walking track and multi-purpose spaces, has been awarded to Ball Construction.

The Generations home will be licensed to Multi-Generational Housing and Community Centre Toronto, and is expected to welcome its first residents in early 2026.

It's not clear when the new opening date is expected, or why the project has been delayed again. Indications are that it could be another year before the line is in service.

Hydro One says the new investment model will apply to the six transmission lines it is developing in southwest Ontario.
