The federal government is providing funding that will improve the accessibility of people with disabilities in Thompson.

The Manitoba Metis Federation in Thompson is receiving $19,000, that will be used for the construction of a ramp and railing at the Federation’s building.

The funds come from the country’s Enabling Accessibility Fund. Since 2007, it’s funded over 1,8000 projects which help Canadians get better access to facilities, programs, and services.
