Thompson Council Preview: TRCC Security Funding and New "Resilience" By-law on Tonight's Agenda - AI Generated Image
Thompson City Council is set to tackle a busy agenda tonight, with discussions ranging from heightened security at the community centre to a comprehensive review of city wages.
The Regular Meeting of Council is scheduled for tonight, Monday, January 26, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. in City Hall. Councillors will be voting on several key operational and financial items that could shape city services in the coming months.
One of the most notable items is a resolution to approve an “early capital budget” specifically for security at the Thompson Regional Community Centre (TRCC). The agenda notes include a “TRCC Incident Summary,” suggesting that recent events may be driving the need to expedite funding for safety measures before the standard budget cycle concludes.
Council will also look to approve the tabulation of prices for a Request for Proposals (RFP) concerning a “City of Thompson Organization Review and Wage Comparison”. This suggests the City is taking steps to evaluate its internal structure and ensure its compensation packages remain competitive and efficient.
Two significant by-laws are up for both second and third readings tonight, meaning they could be fully adopted by the end of the meeting:
- Corporate Asset Management By-law (2063-2026): A policy framework for managing the city’s physical assets.
- Thompson True-Stewardship and Resilience By-law (2064-2026): A new piece of legislation aimed at sustainability and stewardship.
Other Business
- Hudson Bay Route Association: Council will vote on approving the city’s membership for the year.
- Tax Sale Auction: A Designated Officer will be appointed to bid on properties listed in the 2024 designated year tax sale.
The meeting is open to the public at City Hall. For those unable to attend in person, the proceedings will be broadcast live on the City’s Facebook and YouTube channels.
