About Thompson

Founded as an outpost for traders, Thompson experienced rapid growth and development half a century ago when nickel deposits were discovered underground. Inco Limited, a mining interest, inked a deal with the Manitoba government to build mining facilities, infrastructure and town services for miners who moved to the region. The development was named for then-Chairman of Inco, John Thompson. In 1970, Queen Elizabeth II presided over the incorporation of the town to city status. Today, Thompson is the largest city in Northern Manitoba, often called "The Hub of the North," and a center of trade and commerce for residents of smaller surrounding villages. Because of its proximity to vast nature areas of the country, outdoor activities are extremely popular in the region, with sports like hockey, curling and skiing keeping spectators entertained year-round. The most famous sight in the city - and a source of great pride for residents - is the massive wolf mural that adorns the tallest building in the region and is the largest photo mural in Canada. The mural is part of the under-construction Spiritway, a walking and biking route that will showcase 18 points of interest in Thompson and will begin at the Heritage North Museum and end at the Centre for Aboriginal Art.

The Millennium Trail offers a self-guided look at the interesting aspects of life in the region and is connected to MacLean Park , the city's main nature area, which lies on the banks of the Burntwood River. The park is home to an outdoor stage for summer performances and a variety of local events throughout the year.
