The Rural Municipality of Ste Anne is joining forces with the Steinbach Chamber of Commerce.

“We just think it’s a great way to promote business in our municipality,” says Chief Administrative Officer Jennifer Gilmore.

Gilmore says the amalgamation allows members to access tools and resources while streamlining processes and affording ideas.

“They actually came to us,” explains Gilmore. “Their visit was simply to connect with our municipality, see what’s going on here, and basically seek out whether this is something we would be interested in.”

Gilmore says their interest includes the municipality’s location in accordance with other organizations.

“We are members of the Manitoba Southeast Commerce Group, formerly the Ritchot Chamber of Commerce, and they now cover the southeast region, the most eastern municipality being ourselves.”
