On Monday, a City Council meeting was held. During the meeting there was mention of renegotiating a contract with GardaWorld at the Thompson Regional Community Centre.

 

The contract is set to expire early February.

 

While under contract with GardaWorld 2025 saw a 55% reduction in the number of incidents reported at the TRCC.

City of Thompson Councillor Oswald Sawh says that security is necessary.

 

“It’s sad to say that we have to have this level of security at probably the major gathering area in Thompson but it’s an unfortunate reality. As we learned by administration- having security at TRCC, we have seen a significant reduction, up to fifty five percent from year to year over three years, so we know it’s working.”

 

The City of Thompson is also trying to apply new schedules for the security guards and are willing to pay more to have security working on weekends.
