Shelby
A lover of plants and animals, Shelby is a caretaker by nature. Whether it’s his animal friends, plants and marine life, or the people around him, he is happiest when he is taking care of others. His second passion is, of course, coffee (which we can all agree is a good one to have!)
For Shelby, the most special thing about Thunder Bay is the local scene. “I love all of the small businesses, the support from the public, and the general passion business owners have about what they do.” He also loves that all it takes is a short drive and you’ll be in a great position to try any outdoor activity your heart desires, all served up with amazing views.
His favourite place in Thunder Bay is anywhere with good company. “With so many great places to go its hard to pick just one, though Centennial Park and the surrounding areas have always held a special place in my heart since I was young and used to explore the forests/paths with my brothers for hours.”
Shelby works at a local bakery and loves to shop and promote local businesses wherever he can. “Ranging from pet needs, to skin/body care, to clothing, I always know some place that would happily help and give the best service.”
Despite being a self-proclaimed introvert, Shelby has realized over the last year that he really appreciated the freedom to go for walks, shopping, and enjoying the company. “I really enjoyed being able to get out actively and chat with local people…strolling from local store to local store and picking up an item from each and enjoying the conversations along the way.”
Something he can’t live without and what he would bring with him to a deserted island? His cat - “I'd be content if I just had him as a buddy.”
