Hello BIZ members and a Happy New Year!
As we all work to welcome employees, customers and visitors back downtown, I want to personally thank you for being part of this community. I see firsthand that we are stronger together. This year, our Downtown BIZ team will work with you, along with all levels of government and our partners, on a new vision for downtown. We know our downtown has changed and this is an incredible opportunity to transform downtown into a community where people come first. So, whether it’s attracting new businesses or residents here, providing new recreation or entertainment opportunities, or driving more customers to a downtown business it starts with people. We want to give Winnipeggers a reason to come downtown and be proud of this neighbourhood. As we move forward together, your input will be key to helping us realize this vision and what the future of downtown will be.
Our first event of the new year to invite people back downtown is Winter Wanderland which will launch in a few weeks. More info to come!
In the meantime, we are making a couple minor changes to this MEMO e-newsletter. What you can expect:
-
A regularly scheduled MEMO e-newsletter that will hit your inbox every second Wednesday, where we’ll continue to share the news about downtown and the issues affecting your business.
-
A refresh of the look and feel
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions:

Thank you
