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.*

This month's spotlight offers:
Happening at The Chamber

Stick around for lunch and join us for the Business Excellence Awards as we celebrate the best in West Winnipeg Businesses.

Keep an eye on your inbox for the official AGM notification and update from Kristi.
April Member Meet-ups
We love to help our members show off, and a great way to do that is through Member Meet-up events like the two hosted by members this month.

On April 19th we celebrated Filipino Food Month with Max's Restaurant. It was an amazing evening filled with entertainment, networking and lots of Filipino food. Thank you to JR for organizing and inviting the ACC crew and members to participate.

Happening right now as this hits your inbox (April 27th) we are at Toba Centre for Children and Youth. The new location is still under construction but is set to open this spring. Stay tuned to their website and social feeds for updates and grand opening announcements.

Interested in hosting your own Member Meet-up event? Let our office know. These networking events are hosted by members and could include tours, ribbon cuttings or anything else that lets you show off your business to our community.
