This is a sad day for Thunder Bay. The historic Finnish labour temple and Thunder Bay's famous Finnish pancake restaurant The Hoito caught fire in the evening of the 22nd of December, 2021. This Temple was also a place for many community events such as Bay Street Film Festival (Vox Popular Media Arts).
The footage is a timelapse of around an hour long. The building burned from around 7pm until 12 noon the next day, spreading from the top to the North of the building, taking around two hours to set its tower ablaze until it collapsed.
