Hi I'm Volker Kromm
I’m proud to be running for Mayor of Thunder Bay. These experiences taught me that leadership is about action, responsibility, and bringing people together.
My journey began with hard work in the forest and grew through community service, fundraising, youth programs, food drives, and local initiatives.
My family is here!
And like so many of you, I spend my time supporting our local organisation, restaurants, and the people who make this town what it is.
With a vision grounded in experience and a commitment to results, I’m ready to help build a stronger, more united Thunder Bay—working alongside residents every step of the way.
MY WHY!
• Because I believe in Thunder Bay's potential and our ability to build a stronger future together.
• Because my experience in leadership, problem-solving, and community involvement has shown me the power of turning ideas into action.
• Because effective leadership is about listening, collaboration, and putting people first.
• Because I believe we can achieve economic growth, affordability, public safety, and sustainability by working toward shared goals.
• Because Thunder Bay has given me so much, and I am committed to giving back through service, leadership, and meaningful action.
MY CORE PLATFORM
MY VISION FOR STRONGER THUNDERBAY
AFFORDABILITY
LEADERSHIP
Focus on stabilizing the local economy by supporting small businesses and creating sustainable jobs that ensure every family in our community has a path to prosperity.
Effective leadership means listening, collaborating, and taking action. By putting people first, we will create a city government that is accountable, and committed to delivering real results
SECURITY
SUSTAINABILITY
Creating secure neighborhoods is our top priority. Through community-led policing and improved emergency response, we will make our city a safer environment for every resident.
My administration will prioritize accessible housing and renter advocacy, building a diverse city where working families and new residents can find stability and a true home.
