A sobering centre that’s been in development in Thompson for several years is now moving a step closer to completion.

 

Council has approved the release of $2.8 million in provincial funding that had been held in trust while planning and renovations moved forward.

 

MKO, which operates the existing sobriety centre, has been leading that work and will also run the new facility.

 

Mayor Colleen Smook explains how the project has progressed to this point.

 

 

With funding now being released, the project is entering its final phase as work continues toward opening the facility.
