“Not long ago, the City of Winnipeg administration introduced a draft bylaw that threatened the viability of both our industry and most of Winnipeg Business.

Early in the review process, our industry recognized that our perspective may be viewed as self-serving. In light of this, we made the decision to approach The Chamber with our concerns. They very quickly recognized the negative impact the proposed law would have on Winnipeg businesses.

With the support of The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, we were able to affect a workable bylaw as it pertains to on-premise signage.”

“In every business owner’s life there comes a day that they realize they are a cog in a very big machine called ‘community’.

On that day, their life changes forever. They come to the realization that a healthy community is the key to their business success. It is the key to the quality of life for themselves and their employees.

The challenge for every business leader who wants to make a difference in the community is HOW!!!

I have found that The Chamber is the best vehicle to reach out to the many. Getting involved with The Chamber provides the unique process of networking with like-minded, community-focused individuals. The Chamber also has the communication methods to get the message out. I can’t imagine what our community would be like without the mobilizing force of The Chamber.
