A community project Thompson.ca was started up in partnership with North Central Community Futures Development Corporation (North Central Development), the City of Thompson and Mystery Lake School Division. Funding partners were N.A.A.C.A., Community Connections and C.E.D.T.A.P. A steering committee, comprised of local business owners, the City of Thompson and North Central development officers led the project to the launching stage. The Mystery Lake School Division hosts and manages the server, which is located at R.D.Parker Highschoool. Thompson.ca was launched in 2003 with the first comprehensive, Web-based business and organization directory for Thompson. This directory is the most comprehensive Web resource for our community. Artek Solutions, a locally owned business, was involved as one of the key leaders in this project Get the most out of thompson.ca Thompson.ca provides many ways to participate in the site.
