MCC MOVE

WE'VE MOVED!

BY KAREN VIVEIROS W elcome to 550-201 Portage Ave., the new home of the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce. After 20 years occupying a storefront one block west, the MCC now overlooks the iconic corner of Portage and Main. This move is part of the MCC’s modernization strategy — efforts that President and CEO Chuck Davidson says will enable technology, infrastructure, and process enhancements, including the accommodation of several important developments.

“With the recent announcement that the MCC will administer the Manitoba Mineral Development Fund (MMDF), we will need to bring on board additional staff, and we just didn’t have the physical space in our previous location. Now we do,” Davidson says. “Plus, as a member-driven organization, we have a responsibility to champion progress and welcome enhancements to the benefit of our members. We are proud to be modernizing.” The new space gives the MCC excellent

amenities, a great location, collaborative workspace, and access to a premium board room on the concourse level. “On behalf of all MCC staff, thank you to 201 Portage and all tenants here who have stopped by to give us such a warm welcome. We’ve truly made ourselves at home here.” ■ The new Manitoba Chambers of Commerce offices at Portage and Main. (Above) MCC president and CEO Chuck Davidson. Photos by Darcy Finley
