THUNDER BAY — From the air, one of the most visible structures in Thunder Bay right now is St. Patrick's Cathedral.
By the end of the summer, it will have a metal roof that should last for about half a century, but for the parishioners of St. Patrick's Cathedral, protecting the landmark structure from the elements comes at the steep cost of $1.7 million. The original roof, which dates back to the cathedral's construction in 1963, has required periodic repairs in recent year as a result of wind blowing sections of protective rubber sheeting right off, leaving bare plywood that started to rot and expose the concrete beneath it.
"We use the word 'iconic' and I don't think we're wrong in that. It's a landmark of Thunder Bay, it has a lot of history. That window at the end — the knave — that's the second largest knave of its kind in North America. We're pretty proud of that, and rightfully so. Yeah, we want to see this building last."
