Yesterday on City Beat, Mayor Colleen Smook provided an update on projects being done in Thompson this summer.

Water and waste-water main renewal continues, as does road renewal.    Roads planned for work in 2024 include Westwood Drive, Mallard, Pintail and Sandpiper Crescents and Seal Road.

Work will be completed on Thompson Drive and Juniper Drive as part of 2023's projects.

Smook also outlined some indoor work that will happen.

“The lighting will be replaced in both the CA Nesbitt and the Wellness Centre, the gym. It will be a month to replace the lights in each facility. The CA Nesbitt Arena is scheduled for July and the gym in August.”

The funding to replace the lights came from the Efficiency Manitoba Grant, the same grant that paid for the lighting in the Gordon Beard Arena last year.
