What Our Founder Says?

Welcome to Manitoba; a province that is proud to offer big city amenities but still maintains a small-town feel. We have a thriving black business community and it is the mission of the Manitobans Chamber of Commerce to connect local businesses with one another to help each succeed in their own right thus ensuring the community thrives as well. The Black Manitobans Chamber of Commerce is an 8 years journey that started in 2014, finally took form in 2022 to promote equitable commerce in the community.

Being the Black Chamber in Manitoba, our diverse membership offers a wide variety of goods and services. Please browse our directory the next time you are looking for a provider.

Whether you are new in town, just visiting or are interested in the benefits of Chamber membership, you have come to the right place. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me at info@bmbcc.ca or 204-899-5213.
