Whelan building is getting a new high tech tennant

The Medical industry in Thunder Bay is getting another heavy hitter. Tornado Medical Systems has chosen the city for its home and will set up shop in the historic Whelan building. TMS is a commercial medical imaging company and Michael Power says having a commercial company in the city will pay huge dividends for the city from research financing firms.   Power says when a research company can show they have an active partner in the commercial field more research funding will flow to the Regional Research Institute.  TMS could employ as many as 50 people with in the next 2-3 years.
