On City Beat yesterday, Mayor Colleen Smook provided an overview of the projects and activities that took place in Thompson this past year.

A couple of the most notable and costly included the water renewal and road work projects in the Juniper, Deerwood and Westwood areas.

Smook shares details here.

"We’re into year two with our roads and water projects, that was a five year project for 87 million dollars all total. We’re significantly into that.”

Other construction and infrastructure projects included the Thompson Regional Airport terminal building, the new court house, the new music room at R.D. Parker Collegiate and the Miles Hart Bridge.

Smook said 2024 will see more of the same, with plans for Keewatin Tribal Council’s  Pusiko land development; the Aquatic Centre tentatively set to break ground this spring, a splash park in the Juniper area and a teen park near the Canadian Tire Jump Start basketball courts.
