Thompson Manitoba
Thompson has a population of 14,000 and is the largest city in the Northern Region of Manitoba and is positioned along the Burntwood River, 761 kilometers north of Winnipeg. Initially founded in 1956 as a mining town, Thompson now primarily acts as the “Hub of the North”, offering services and items (e.g., health care, retail trade) to the surrounding communities.
Thompson’s trade location is bigger than New Mexico yet consists of simply over 50,000 homeowners, with much of the smaller neighborhoods accessible only by air or winter roadway. Regardless of Thompson’s isolated location in the heart of Canada’s boreal forest, Thompson is straight linked to Winnipeg via paved highway, railroad (VIA Rail), and the Thompson Airport. Thompson likewise has modern facilities (e.g., fiber optic internet) and a large retail scene, including half a dozen shopping centers and numerous large stores (e.g., Wal-Mart, Giant Tiger, Safeway, Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire).
Thompson’s natural and undisturbed environments make it a popular neighborhood with outdoor lovers: the biggest marina in Manitoba lies just 38 km south in Paint Lake Provincial Park, hundreds of kilometers of snowmobile tracks are maintained by the Thompson Trailbreakers, and the lack of light contamination and Thompson’s northern latitude enables for occasional watching of the northern lights.
The economy of Thompson is focused around nickel mining and supplying products and services to the surrounding communities.
As is typical in resource-based neighborhoods, Thompson has experienced above-average employment income and considerable swings in mining-sector work throughout its history.
The mean work earnings in 2015 for full-year full-time employees in Thompson was $65,000; this was 22% greater than the Canadian median of $53,431.
865,000+ Canadian households have more than $1 million in assets.
