NCN Thompson Bus Lines is growing their service throughout the north starting April 1st.

Currently, the bus line has routes between Winnipeg and Thompson.

With the expansion, they will provide regular Monday to Friday daytime passenger service that will connect Flin Flon, The Pas, Swan River, Dauphin, Portage la Prairie and Winnipeg.

NCN Thompson Bus has purchased and is redeveloping the bus terminal building in The Pas, which is its third facility in the province.

The expansion will add 7 more staff to be based in The Pas, to join the company’s 27 current staff members based in Winnipeg and Thompson.

Over half of the bus line’s staff are Indigenous and Ed Vystrcil, CEO of the Nelson House Development Corporation, said this is - quote - “an opportune time to celebrate and embrace Economic Reconciliation for all people as Northern Manitoba continues to grow economically.”
