The Manitoba Trappers Association, in partnership with Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, is hosting the Thompson Fur Tables.

 

Mayor Colleen Smook encourages residents to check out the event to learn about trapping culture in the north.

 

Smook adds the fur tables are an economic boon for the city, as the two-day event can bring anywhere from 300 thousand to 700 thousand dollars to Thompson.

 

In addition to trap sales, a trapper raffle, door prizes, and kids’ activities will be available.

 

The fur tables are at the TRCC today from 9 a.m. to 4 pm. and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to noon.
