Member-to-Member Deals

Public Offers & Discounts

Business savings programs are shared with many member organizations, and our Chamber is no different. Assiniboia Chamber members have the option to pass down business savings to other Assiniboia Chamber members at any time. In fact, a member can create a discount for fellow members and a separate offer for the public.

If you are interested in marketing your products and services further, contact the Chamber office by email or phone (204) 774-4154, or upload the offer through your Member Information Centre.*

* The Assiniboia Chamber of Commerce can pass on some remarkable savings to our members through its association with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, as well as many of its business members that offer programs, savings, offers and the like. Any and all agreements are made between the business and the organization offering the deal, and not the Assiniboia Chamber of Commerce (ACC). The ACC has vetted all organizations and their offers, but the main responsibility remains solely on the business member when utilizing any discount, offer or signing any agreements.
