Although we have been around for more than a century, The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce continues to strive for excellence in all we do. Our commitment to raising the bar has not gone unnoticed.

Ranked in Top 10 of North American Chambers

The American Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) has recognized our Chamber with membership achievement awards for the past three years for being in the Top 10 of North American Chambers for new members and new member dollars.
