Thompson Community Engagement- CNC Research Program

We are excited to announce that the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy is hosting a series of community engagement events on the Canadian Northern Corridor Concept (CNC) Research Program. The engagement events are facilitated by Cascade Projects.

We invite residents of the Thompson, MB region to participate in a community engagement on April 25th, 6-9 PM at the Ma-Mow-We-Tak Friendship Centre.

At this community engagement , we will:

• Share the CNC Research Program’s ongoing research and knowledge on corridor development and infrastructure planning with interested citizens in the Thompson region.
• Discuss what a Canadian Northern Corridor could mean for the Thompson region in terms of benefits and costs- exploring connectivity such as transportation and telecommunications; visioning economic opportunities; and identifying social, environmental and cultural interests and concerns.

Our goal is to hear as many perspectives, opinions, stories, and ideas as possible in order to get an inclusive and balanced picture of how corridor development could create opportunities and challenges for Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents in the Thompson region.

Register now to secure your spot in the discussion!
