24/7 urgent care doctor's note available for everyone in Thunder Bay and the surrounding communities
Even though Ontario dropped the requirement for short (three-day) sick notes in 2024, longer absences and special cases still need one. But Thunder Bay is over 700 km from Winnipeg and more than 1,300 km from Toronto, so travel for healthcare is often long. The city gets nearly 160 cm of snow each year, and harsh winter roads often make even a quick clinic visit unsafe, especially when all you need is a simple doctor’s note.
The region depends on just one major hospital, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, which serves Nipigon, Greenstone, Marathon, and surrounding towns.
Virtual care bridges that gap. You can connect with a licensed Thunder Bay District doctor online and get a signed medical note by email in minutes. No travel, no snow, no waiting room.
