Northwood ward is a ward in Thunder Bay. This is where the rough draft of its article will be written.
Northwood is one of Thunder Bay's seven municipal wards, represented by Mark Bentz. It was developed between 1965 and 1985. It is bounded by Chapples Park to the east, Arthur Street to the south, the Thunder Bay Expressway to the west and the Harbour Expressway to the north.
Northwood includes many smaller neighbourhoods, such as Edgewater Park, the southernmost third which is located between Arthur Street and the Neebing River; College Park, the part of Northwood generally north of James Street, and Mountview, the area between the two.
Northwood is home to two secondary schools. Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School and Sir Winston Churchill Collegiate & Vocational Institute are located beside each other at the corner of Edward St and Churchill Drive. The neighbourhood is home to Confederation College.
Parks include Chapples Park, the Thunder Bay Soroptimist International Friendship Garden, and the Neebing Watercourse Preserve. Smaller local parks and parkettes are located throughout the ward.
Northwood is home to Northwood Park Plaza, an indoor shopping mall in the heard of the community. Its southern boundary on Arthur Street is the location of several smaller malls and grocery stores. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vidioman (talk • contribs) 09:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
