2025 marks Rudy the Raven’s 50th birthday.

And it’s such a big deal that it’s the theme for this year’s Winterfest celebrations.

Planning for the event began back in December with meetings taking place every Wednesday at 1:30 pm in the Mary Fenske boardroom at the TRCC.

Currently a number of local groups have already stepped up to host activities and arrange events.

They include the Thompson Seniors Community Resource Council, Fun Stuff Thompson, the Thompson Kin Club, the Boreal Discovery Centre, Hello Parents Network of Thompson, the RCMP and the Manitoba Metis Federation.

If you wish to take part, you’re welcome to join in the planning meetings.

You can also volunteer by calling Darlene at the TRCC at 204-677-7969.
