The Directors of the NSWPB Board are recruited through an open application process to ensure demographic diversity reflective of the District of Thunder Bay.
NSWPB is connected with Community Stakeholder Groups who are a key ally into recruiting regional and sectoral applicants. On an annual basis, there is an open call for nominations (including self-nomination) from identified Community Stakeholder Groups. The open call for nominations will be posted here on this page.
