The owners of the Sports Dome in Thunder Bay, Ont. are still examining their options regarding the future of the facility, according to the business' general manager.

"We're looking at weighing all our options and just waiting on all our reports to come in," she said, adding that there will be further news once all the information is available.

The inflatable structure collapsed during high winds and heavy snow on November 18.
