Thompson City Council has approved an easement agreement to support the installation of a new electric vehicle charging station in the city.

 

The station will be located near the Mystery Lake Hotel, with some of the infrastructure set to be placed on City of Thompson property.

 

 The agreement allows Manitoba Hydro to access the land for installation, as well as ongoing maintenance and inspections.

 

Deputy Mayor Louis Fitzpatrick explains how the easement works and why it’s needed for the project.

 

 

The charging station is part of a broader effort to expand electric vehicle infrastructure between Thompson and Winnipeg, helping improve accessibility for drivers travelling between northern and southern Manitoba.
