Last week, the City of Thompson didn’t hold their regularly scheduled Committee of the Whole meeting on Tuesday.

Instead, they participated in a tactical planning session with a representative from Way to Go Consulting.

This was followed by another 6-hour session last Wednesday.

Mayor Colleen Smook explains the purpose of these sessions.

“These sessions are intended to help us basically approach the rest of our terms, strategically to achieve more goals that will benefit Thompson and it’s residents.”

Smook said that the sessions were to help City Council focus their attention on specific projects over the remaining 20 months of their mandate.

One example is what she referred to as the “downtown safety issues.”
