The City of Thompson has been approved for $100,000 in provincial funding through Manitoba’s From the Ground Up program to support youth programming in the community.
Mayor Colleen Smook says the grant will help local organizations develop and expand programs aimed at creating more opportunities for young people.
Smook says the funding will help support both existing groups and new youth initiatives in the city.
A large portion of the funding is also expected to help support summer day camps at the Thompson Regional Community Centre, which will offer activities like sports, games, and crafts for youth in the community.
