A new by-law aimed at long-term planning and sustainability was passed at Monday night’s City of Thompson council meeting.

The True Stewardship and Resilience By-law was designed to guide how decisions are made by considering their social, economic, and environmental impacts.

Mayor Colleen Smook explains what the by-law is intended to do.

The by-law is meant to ensure future decisions are made with long-term community impacts in mind, rather than short-term outcomes.
