So if you would like to call and welcome her (204) 774-4154 or email [email protected] . The coffee is always on!  If you are unable to physically come to the office, let's make a virtual coffee date!  FaceTime: Kristi at (204) 471-4308.

Experience the magic of Canada's largest Chinese Lantern festival. Occupying over 10 acres, the scale of this giant exposition of Chinese lantern art will be sure to amaze. A true labour of love and time to build, approximately 75-100 Chinese artisans have constructed specially designed light artwork statues depicting Manitoba, Canada and Chinese icons and symbols illuminated by millions of LED lights and using various common items such as plates, cups and saucers, medicine vials, plastic bottles and ping-pong balls.

There will be traditional Chinese performances by professional performers including an interactive dinosaur experience, a performance by Chinese acrobats, a Sichuan Opera Face Changing display, as well as fire breathing, plate spinning, kicking bowls, Chi nese folk dancers and much more.
This is a truly magical show that will be here to delight Winnipeggers and thousands of visitors from around the world.

Come and join the Chamber and experience this amazing festival. Bring your friends, or network with other Chamber members. Registration is limited, so register today and don't be disappointed.  Corporate sponsorship's are available for this event, please contact Kristi for more information (204) 774-4154 or click here.


Membership Marketing Team 

The Assiniboia Chamber of Commerce was successful in receiving a summer student grant to employ a student to further our chamber network. Throughout the summer we have had Josh Dielmann visiting businesses in our service territory so we could understand our community better. Results of Josh's research will be shared in the coming months.

The Chamber would like to thank to Steve Chipman at Birchwood Automotive Group for providing transportation for Josh.




Do you have a topic you'd like to see on the fall/winter lineup? Send us a quick email and we will do what we can to confirm a speaker.

Our partner World Trade Centre Winnipeg also provides a series of seminars - Schedule
