Provincial gov't offices. It was built in the early/mid 90's to house Gov't of Ont jobs moved to Thunder Bay in the name of "economic development". Interestingly enough, while it added some jobs to the local economy, the gov't also moved jobs from other locations around town into the new building such that the effect of that was to create other holes in the urban fabric.

Also, from the distance shown, that building almost looks nice, up close I personally think is was designed by Ray Charles (<< no offense to RC fans out there!)
