The Thompson Junior Bison (JRB) basketball program is an all-girls basketball program that has been running for around 10 years. The program is based out of Winnipeg but was brought to Thompson thanks to the hard work of Kristin Donovan and Chris Pelchat. JRB is an out-of-school basketball club which teaches children from kindergarten to Grade 12.
In years past the program has completed a shoot-a-thon and raised thousands of dollars for other worthwhile charities such as Angel Hair, the Make a Wish Foundation and the Waponohk Community School breakfast program. The program believes in giving back to the community that has so generously helped us in the early years.
