Local Agencies receive federal funding

 Michelle Rempel, the Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification was in Thompson yesterday for an announcement. During a press conference Rempel spoke about funding that was given to organizations in our area.  She says it’s important that infrastructure is a main priority in western Canada.

"I think it's important when looking at making communities more liveable, when you want to attract and retain people to stay there to have that type of infrastructure.   That's why we wanted to make sure that proponents that came forward with good solid projects, like the ones we saw today, received the funding."

The money was given to three organizations. The Thompson Humane Society, the Boys and Girls Club of Thompson, as well as Thompson Toddler Daycare Centre. Money was used for roofing, siding, insulation, heating and air conditioning costs.
