The Manitoba LGBT* Chamber of Commerce recognizes individuals and organizations that are having a positive impact on Manitoba’s LGBT* and business communities.
The Chamber’s name is the Manitoba LGBT* Chamber of Commerce which is pronounced “LGBT ALL Chamber of Commerce” because we include in our Chamber community not only the diversity of gender and sexual communities in Manitoba but also our allies and friends. The Chamber is welcoming and inclusive of all businesses, business owners and employees who seek to help build a strong Manitoba economy supported by, and supportive of, diverse communities. Thus in our descriptions of the awards below, LGBT* is intended to be inclusive and the awards are open to all.
