Girl Guide cookies are now on sale here in Thompson!

The cookies sales, which usually take place in March with Girl Guide members going door-to-door were put on hold due to concerns over COVID-19.

The organization reached out to Thompson Family Foods, Canadian Tire and Safeway to help sell the cookies. Now Thompson Family Foods is selling the chocolate mint cookies, while both Canadian Tire and Safeway are selling the classic sandwich cookies. N

adine Vokey, former Area Commissioner with the Thompson Girl Guides, says cookies are $5 a box and sales will continue while supplies last.

Money raised with cookie sales helps the local unit purchase supplies for crafts and program activities, badges, and helps towards the costs of sleepovers and camps.
