Here at The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, we’re excited to welcome you back to our annual in-person Civic Leaders Dinner.

Join us on April 7, for an energetic and efficient networking event with elected officials and administration’s c-suite.



The Civic Leaders Dinner is a Chamber-exclusive opportunity for our members to converse directly with Mayor Brian Bowman, City of Winnipeg councillors, and much of the City’s administrative staff about issues that are important to them and directly affect the success of their business.

Leaders will move around tables, during a three-course meal, for two-way dialogue with you and other Winnipeg businesses.

We’ve got a great line-up of attending City officials this year and thought it might be helpful to give a bit of a more specific overview of the areas and issues each employee looks after.
