A Thompsonite has written a book detailing the early history of the city titled Where You From? The Building of a Northern City

Long-time resident Wayne Hall says he got the idea to chronicle Thompson’s past between 1955 and 1970 prior to it being established as a city after he retired 16 years ago.

 

Hall shares the most difficult part about the writing process was researching the early days of the community to ensure he has an accurate account of what was happening during that timeframe.....

 

“I went to the Library and they had at that time microfiche and that’s where I started going through all the newspapers that were published in Thompson so that kind of gave me a start but I wanted information from before that so I went through every publication I could find from the early days of Inco all the way back to 1955.”

 

The book also features anecdotes from Hall as well as people who were present in the community during the timeframe covered in the book.
