Where You From? The Building of a Northern City chronicles the early stages of the community that would become the City of Thompson.

 

Written by long-time resident Wayne Hall, the book covers the period between 1955 and 1970 when the Inco mining company brought in workers from across the country to the area.

 

Hall says he wrote the book because he felt the history of the early days was slowly being lost and wanted to record a timeline of what took place during that period.

 

A book signing event will be held at the Thompson Public Library this Saturday afternoon, where people can chat with Hall and ask questions about it.
