We are looking forward to having you at our annual Civic Leaders Dinner! 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.

The Civic Leaders Dinner your Chamber-exclusive opportunity to converse directly with Mayor Scott Gillingham, City of Winnipeg councillors, and much of the City’s administrative staff. Sit at the table to discuss issues important to you and how they directly affect the success of your business.
