The Thompson Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation held it’s Annual General Meeting on Friday.

Executive Director Oswald Sawh reported that the TNRC’s current 5-year plan focused on Community Pride, Families First and Capacity Building.

Using those guidelines,  the TNRC approved over 47-thousand dollars in small grants to 8 organizations for 12 projects which, in turn, served over 9-thousand individuals supported by 345 volunteers.

The funds also leveraged over 200-thousand dollars in other contributions.

Other key activities over the past year included a Symposium on Ending Homelessness in 2024, a Culture Fusion Canada Day celebration, the 2024 Boreal Discovery Centre Fall Fest, and completing renovations on one of two family homes on Juniper Drive.

The organization also continues to provide administrative support to organizations such as MAPS and the Thompson Humane Society.
