Selling Winnipeg to the World a Top Priority

Winnipeg is “on a roll” - the Conference Board of Canada predicts our economy will be amongst the strongest in Canada in '09.

But The Chamber believes we must do better. Winnipeg has a very strong and compelling value proposition and in today's challenging global business climate many companies seek the competitive advantages our city possesses.

Overwhelming feedback from extensive private sector consultation by The Chamber clearly indicates the highest priority for our city now is to increase the level of private sector economic investment and attraction in our city.

We have to "tell our story" personally to a wider audience.

And that is exactly what a bold new Chamber initiative – Selling Winnipeg to the World – will do. SWTTW will aggressively and proactively identify companies considering opening, expanding or relocating, and then implement a highly-compelling strategy to convince them that Winnipeg is their best alternative.

On Jan. 15, The Chamber will launch its Business Call Team. Click here for more details.

50% of the net proceeds from the 2009 Mayor’s State of the City address will be donated 
to Siloam Mission, New Life Ministries, and the Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation.
