FALL 2024 • THE ASSINIBOIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 7 MESSAGE FROM THE Chair At the heart of our Chamber's mission is a commitment to advocacy. We are actively listening to our members and the broader community to understand the issues that matter most. Whether it's improving local infrastructure and connectivity, supporting small businesses, or addressing workforce challenges, we aim to be the voice of our members in tackling these important matters. Your input is invaluable, and we encourage you to share your thoughts so we can continue representing your interests effectively. Whether you're a business owner, community leader, or passionate supporter, there are countless ways to share these stories and support our community's progress. Through social media, community outreach, or even word-of-mouth, your voice matters in helping us spread the word across Manitoba. For those outside of West Winnipeg, I encourage you to visit and experience firsthand the vibrant spirit of our local businesses. From shopping locally to exploring our many hidden gems, we invite you to connect with what makes West Winnipeg special. Also, be sure to explore our Chamber membership directory, featured in this issue of the West Winnipeg Business Review, which offers a comprehensive look at the diverse range of businesses that make our community thrive. Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive future for West Winnipeg and our province—where businesses thrive, and communities grow.
