Key facts

  • Mark Bentz is the Councillor on Thunder Bay City Council, representing Thunder Bay.
  • Municipal councils handle local matters: property tax, zoning and building permits, garbage/recycling/water, snow removal, local bylaws (noise, parking, pets), and parks and recreation. For health care, tenant disputes, or ODSP/OSAP, write to your provincial representative instead; for immigration, federal taxes, or passports, write to your MP.
  • Identify yourself as a resident: full name, home address, and which ward or the general city if the seat is city-wide, so staff can confirm you're within Thunder Bay. Constituent mail is prioritized.
  • Letters to municipal councillors need regular postage — there's no postage-free rule at the municipal level (unlike mail to federal MPs).
  • Prefer email? [email protected] reaches the same office — but a physical letter is harder to overlook, especially ahead of a council vote.
  • PostPal prints your letter and deposits it with Canada Post the next business day for $6 — no printer, envelope, or stamps needed.

How to send your letter

  1. 1

    Check it’s a municipal matter

    Thunder Bay council can act on local files: property tax, zoning and permits, garbage/recycling/water service, snow removal, local bylaws, and parks. If your issue is health care, a tenancy dispute, or ODSP/OSAP, that's provincial — write to your MPP/MLA instead; immigration, EI, or passports go to your federal MP.

  2. 2

    Write to Bentz at Thunder Bay City Council

    Bentz represents Thunder Bay and can raise a ward-specific issue directly with staff or at a council meeting. Mail goes to Thunder Bay City Council's office at 500 Donald Street East, P.O. Box 800, Thunder Bay, ON P7C 5K4.

  3. 3

    Say who you are and where you live

    Open with your full name, address, and which ward you're in (if the seat is ward-based) so Bentz's office can confirm you're a resident. One page, one issue, and a specific ask — support or oppose an item on an upcoming agenda, or raise a problem with a department.

  4. 4

    Send it without printing anything

    Write your letter in PostPal with Mark Bentz's address prefilled — we print it, stamp it, and hand it to Canada Post the next business day for $6.

Common questions

What is Mark Bentz's mailing address?

Mark Bentz, Councillor, 500 Donald Street East, P.O. Box 800, Thunder Bay ON P7C 5K4.

Should I write to my councillor, my MPP, or my MP?

Depends on the issue. City council is municipal: property tax, zoning, garbage/water, snow removal, local bylaws, parks. Your MPP/MLA is provincial: health care, education, housing and tenant disputes, ODSP/OSAP. Your MP is federal: immigration, taxes, EI, passports. Name the program — the wrong office will redirect you, but starting in the right place is faster.

Do I need a stamp to write to Bentz?

Yes — mail to municipal councillors takes regular postage; there's no postage-free rule at the municipal level. If you'd rather skip the stamp and printer entirely, PostPal prints and mails your letter for $6 flat.

Do I have to live in Thunder Bay to write to Bentz?

Generally yes for casework — write to Bentz as a resident or business owner in Thunder Bay. If you live in a neighbouring municipality, your own city council is the right recipient.

Will Mark Bentz actually read my letter?

Constituent mail is logged by council office staff, and issues tied to an upcoming agenda item get flagged directly. Include your return address — PostPal prints yours automatically — so a reply has somewhere to go.
