The Heart and Stroke Foundation is closing it’s Thunder Bay office as well as over two dozen across Canada.
A spokesperson for the charity says community fundraising has been on a decline and more of the donations have come in online prompting the move to close the physical offices.
They note they will continue to have a presence in Thunder Bay with one employee working out of a home based office.
The foundation feels the redesign will allow them to have more funds for research and advocacy work.
Two of the three Thunder Bay staff will lose their jobs on August 24th when the office closes.
