Member-to-Member Deals
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 login.*

Ribbon Cuttings
The big scissors got put to good use in March with not only one but two ribbon cuttings.

We were honoured to be invited to the Re-Opening of McDonald on Cavalier as well as the Grand Opening celebration of Dreamland Diner.

Both locations are beautifully finished and are already picking up as highlights in our community. Thank you to all of our local officials and community members who have attended in support and to the teams from both restaurants for welcoming us into your celebration.

We never know where our scissors may show up next. Will it be at your next big event? Send us a message at info@assiniboiachamber.ca to learn more about hosting a ribbon cutting event.
