| The town of Thompson and Inco's operations |
Thompson is about an 8 hours drive north of Winnipeg. It exists because of a huge nickel deposit that was discovered there and has been mined by Inco Limited since the late 1950's. My software company has done a lot of work for Inco. Thompson is a bit isolated for many people but has some absolutely wonderful people! |
