Thompson Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation

Thompson Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation has contributed to the planning of National Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations for the past several years by administering funding, and contributing funds through the Small Grant Fund program. The TNRC’s members have also been a part of the celebration’s planning commitiee.

Our Small Grants Fund supports initiatives and organizations that promote: Safety & Crime Prevention: Promote personal, family and community capacity building thorough a focus on community wellness and safety for all members, and especially the most vulnerable of our population.

Youth: Promote healthy recreational activities that are accessible to all youth, and promote cultural awareness/acceptance to create pride and positive regard for all cultures through education, awareness, events, and community building with priority given to the Indigenous cultures of this territory.

Economic Development: Support partnerships that will help to diversify Thompson’s economy, and that support increasing economic opportunities for its lowest-income community members.

Cleanliness & Beautification: Plan and support initiatives that enhance community spaces for all community members, with sensitivity and inclusion being given to those who are homeless.

Through Small Grant Fund we were able to support 15 community projects during the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
