A S S I N I B O I A C H A M B E R O F C O M M E R C E 6 THE ASSINIBOIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE • SPRING 2024 I am thrilled to share an exciting initiative aimed at showcasing the vibrant West Winnipeg business community beyond our local borders and into the broader landscape of Manitoba. Our local businesses are not just integral to West Winnipeg's fabric but also significant contributors to the economic vitality and cultural richness of our entire province. With this in mind, we are launching efforts to share the inspiring stories of West Winnipeg businesses with audiences across Manitoba. Through various channels, including digital platforms, traditional media, and strategic partnerships, we will highlight compelling narratives, success stories, and unique offerings from our local business community. In particular, we will focus on two critical areas that reflect our commitment to addressing pressing issues and promoting positive change: State of Transportation: Transportation infrastructure is essential for business success in West Winnipeg and beyond. We will shed light on the current state of transportation infrastructure in our region, highlighting challenges and opportunities for local businesses. Climate and Sustainability Practices: Sustainability and environmental responsibility are increasingly important in today's business landscape. We will showcase the innovative sustainability practices and initiatives of West Winnipeg businesses, inspiring others to embrace sustainability as a core business principle. Your support and engagement are crucial in amplifying our message. Whether you're a business owner, community leader, or engaged citizen, there are numerous ways you can contribute to sharing our story with the rest of Manitoba. Whether it's through social media, blog features, or word-of-mouth recommendations, your support will be invaluable in spreading our message. For those not based in West Winnipeg, I invite you to visit our community and experience firsthand the unique offerings and warm hospitality of our local businesses. Explore West Winnipeg, visit our businesses, and discover the hidden gems that make our community special. Also, don't forget to check out our membership directory printed in this issue of the West Winnipeg Business Review, where you can find a comprehensive list of our Chamber members and their offerings. Together, let's share the story of West Winnipeg businesses far and wide and continue building a future where businesses thrive, communities flourish, and stories are shared. Thank you for your unwavering support and commitment to our shared vision.
