The Boys and Girls club of Thompson is close to opening their satellite location.

Executive Director Regina Da-Silva says they didn’t raise as much as they’d like:

"Due to the lack of funds, the project can commence but it would be on a 3 evenings a week, so we would provide the same after school program, 3 days a week in the Eastwood area, out of the multicultural centre".

Currently the club is dealing with a zoning issue. Da Silva says the Boys and Girls Club has been working closely with the City to resolve the issue. She hopes to have it worked out by January so they can start their programming then.
