The Thompson Community Development Corporation (Thompson CDC) was established in 1996 and in later years was rebranded and operated as Thompson Unlimited. The organization always at its core had a community economic development mandate that guided its operations.

 

In 2015 the organization operations ended. This closure was due primarily to the financial constraints being experienced, that limited the entity`s capacity to deliver in a sustainable way.

 

Through community assessments carried out in 2019, it was identified that there was a need to establish a stand-alone community organization that would drive certain aspects of economic development in Thompson.

 

A decision was taken to revive the Thompson CDC. The City of Thompson carried through a process and the Corporation was formally revived in June 2020 with an interim Board put in place to manage and guide its start-up.
