Thompson, Manitoba, Canada

Thompson is the largest city in the Northern Region of Manitoba and is situated along the Burntwood River, 739km north of Winnipeg. Originally founded in 1957 as a mining town, Thompson now primarily serves as the Hub of the North, providing goods and services to the surrounding communities. Thompson's trade area is larger than New Mexico yet contains just over 50,000 residents, with many of the smaller communities accessible only by air or winter road. Despite Thompson's isolated location in the heart of Canada's boreal forest, Thompson is directly connected to Winnipeg via paved highway, railroad , and the Thompson Airport. Thompson also has modern amenities and a large retail scene, including half a dozen shopping malls and several large chain stores . Thompson's natural and undisturbed surroundings makes it a popular community with outdoor enthusiasts: the largest marina in Manitoba is located just 38 km south in Paint Lake Provincial Park, hundreds of kilometers of snowmobile trails are maintained by the Thompson Trailbreakers, and the lack of light pollution and Thompson's northern latitude allows for occasional viewing of the Northern Lights .
