The City of Thompson turned up for the Business Challenge, and that was about it.

Not a single business showed up for the annual event, which is a part of the City’s Spring Clean Up campaign that runs throughout the month of May.

Director of Public Works Wayne Koversky says that while there were some businesses that had initially signed up to attend, they had to withdraw for unknown reasons.

“We had a couple express interest; actually, a few of the organizations had approached us. But maybe due to unforeseen circumstances, staffing or whatever it may be, there was just nobody there on Friday afternoon.”

The last scheduled event, the Clean Community Day, will take place on Saturday at Robin’s Donuts beginning at 8 am.
