​

 

  • Economic Development & Diversification

  • Project Development & Implementation

  • Marketing

  • Advocacy Support & Stakeholder Collaboration

Thompson Community Development Corporation

A. Economic Development & Diversification

Economic Development and Diversification are key to the growth of Thompson. For years the local economy has largely been reliant on the mining industry. Resulting from the downsizing of this industry, it has forced local economic development players and the community as a whole to look at other economic opportunities. The Thompson CDC will execute development and diversification activities in the following areas.

i. Investment Promotion & Facilitation

ii. Tourism Promotion & Development

iii. Thompson as a Regional Service Centre

iv. Land Development & Property Management

B. Project Development & Implementation

As part of the objective to a financially sustainable entity, the Thompson CDC will seek to identify and secure funding on its own efforts and lead the implementation of projects. Where local business gaps are identified, the project may also become a joint business investment through regional partnership.

 

The Thompson CDC has secured grant funding, to ensure that the organization is able to initiate some of its activities in line with its mandate to ensure local development in a sustainable way. Current funding partners include:
