A very successful and invigorating 85th AGM of the MB Chamber of Commerce was held May 6 - 8 in Portage La Prairie. Guest speakers including Hendrik Brakel, Senior Director Economic, Financial & Tax Policy of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce provided extensive insight into what lays ahead for our domestic economy.  Brakel provided praise for the diverse economy of Manitoba and noted our continuing strength among the provinces. Todd Letts of the Brampton Board of Trade gave a fast paced Best Practices session for Chambers of Commerce and there was much more.

The attendees were very pleased to hear the positive message from the Hon. Cliff Cullen, Minister Growth, Economy and Trade on the proactive approach the newly elected government will be taking.
