University College of the North Announces “Thompson Linkages” Event for April 2026

The University College of the North (UCN) has announced a major upcoming event titled “Thompson Linkages,” set to take place on April 28 and 29, 2026, at the Thompson Regional Community Centre (TRCC). The two-day event aims to strengthen connections between education, community, and industry across Northern Manitoba.

Organized by UCN’s Thompson campus, the event is designed to bring together community members, educators, students, and local partners to explore opportunities in post-secondary education and workforce development. UCN, which operates main campuses in Thompson and The Pas along with 12 regional centres, plays a crucial role in expanding educational access in northern communities.

The choice of venue, the Thompson Regional Community Centre, highlights the close physical and social connection between the TRCC and the UCN campus, both of which serve as community hubs in the city. The event will likely feature exhibits, workshops, and networking sessions focused on education, training, and local economic collaboration.

UCN officials say “Thompson Linkages” reflects the institution’s ongoing commitment to community engagement and regional development. By hosting the event in Thompson, UCN hopes to create lasting partnerships that connect education and employment pathways for residents across Northern Manitoba.

Further details about “Thompson Linkages” will be released in the coming months through UCN’s official channels and local community partners.
