Tribute to the Northern Firefighters
Located behind Thompson Fire Hall and overlooking the Burntwood River the statue encompasses the five different types of fire fighters and rescue personnel of the Thompson Area: municipal, forest, mine rescue, and air fire fighters such as water bombers and helitac crews.

Bailey Bridge
The Bailey Bridge was invented in England by Donald Bailey in 1941. It was designed to be built by man power alone; be moved and rebuilt quickly, but also be strong enough to hold the weight of troops and equipment that would cross it. This type of bridge was used from 1957 to 1971 to span the Burntwood River and a piece of it is still used at Ravine Park behind City Hall.
