The Assiniboia Chamber of Commerce is kicking off 2023 by celebrating two renovated businesses. One is a common name to all that has transitioned into a new phase, while the other is aa new business that turned what was once a French bistro into a diner reminiscent of the 1950s.

Ribbon cuttings are the ceremonial openings of brand-new, newly renovated or relocated businesses. They can celebrate your first day of business or can take place weeks after a soft opening. Ribbon-cutting requests for anniversary celebrations are also common. The Chamber’s ribbon-cutting services include the big red scissors, a choice of ribbon, invitations to government officials and more. Call us at 204-774-4154 to ask us to help you with your celebration.
