The Canadian Mental Health Association provides the Graffiti Cover-up program here in Thompson, with financing through the City of Thompson.
The goal of the program, which began in 2007, is to help support people living with mental health issues by allowing them to gain social skills and work experience.
At last night’s Committee of the Whole meeting, a report was provided to the City as requested during the budgetary process last year.
From last June 24th through August 18th, the team from the CMHA did 28 cover-ups at 11 different locations.
The cost to the city for last year’s program was just shy of 49-hundred dollars and covered wages, supplies, travel and an administration fee by the CMHA.
