The Kin Club of Thompson is currently working on a Centennial Project with the students of two local schools.

 

The project is based on Kin Canada’s Milk for Britain campaign, which was held during World War two to feed English children and recovering Canadian soldiers who were suffering from lack of food.

 

The Kin Centennial Challenge encourages participating classes to think up realistic, achievable initiatives that would serve Thompson’s greatest need.

 

The classes would then be provided some funding once they submit their proposal to help complete the initiative and provide a one-page report.

 

Thompson residents have the opportunity to learn more about Centennial project at an open house, which will be held this evening at 6 at the Thompson Public Library.

 

Tune in to Thompson Today at 12:40 and 5:10 this afternoon for more information.
