Welcome to The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce’s 2026-2027 season – we’re glad you’re here.  

 

Over the summer, we hit pause on our events to reset and prepare for the year ahead. Now we’re ready to launch into another season full of connection, learning, and growth.  

 

Whether you’re a new member or a current member just wanting a refresher on what The Chamber offers, we hope this helps you navigate your membership and meaningfully engage with our community this year.  

Let's Get Into It

As the largest business association in Manitoba, we are a gathering place for business. We connect business, non-profit, and governments, ignite innovation and visionary thoughts, and help build a thriving Winnipeg through our main pillars: lead, connect and grow.
