Happening at The Chamber

Manitoba Provincial Budget

Kristi attended both the announcement and the Manitoba Chamber's Provincial Budget Review Breakfast this past week. Our top 4 takeaways for businesses are:

• $20.9 million to support new child-care spaces and increase wages for childcare workers including $10 per day childcare year-round

• $43 million to support post-secondary students training for their careers

• $1.5 million to increase the number of apprenticeship training seats to help grow our skilled labour force
• 
  
• $300 security system rebate for families and small businesses

The State of Transportation Luncheon

Our third-panel luncheon took place at the Sandman Hotel on March 20th. Thank you to our Moderator Carly Edmundson (CentrePort Canada) and panelists, Nick Hays (Winnipeg Airports Authority), Kevin Sturgeon (Winnipeg Transit Master Plan) and Cliff Caners (Arctic Buying Company Winnipeg). Watch for our recap in the West Winnipeg Community Review along with their features in our upcoming Spring 2024 edition of the West Winnipeg Business Review magazine.
