They were instructed to wait until the live virtual tour to open
their boxes so that everyone sampled the goodies at the
same time. The Treat Yourself, Winnipeg Style theme took
writers on a journey through Winnipeg including three stops
—Nonsuch
Brewing, Thermëa by Nordik Spa-Nature and
Hargrave Street Market. The tour was a tremendous success,
garnering attention and accolades from media and the
federal tourism agency, Destination Canada.
Talent talk
We also launched a brand-new talent hub website with a
toolkit for business with resources and up-to-date talent news.
In addition, a brand-new quality of life website was launched
to help companies in their recruitment efforts. It features video
testimonials and stories about why Winnipeg is an ideal place
to study, work, live and play.
Sector stories of growth
We developed two new videos for the transportation &
distribution and life sciences sectors, both highlighting the key
advantages of Winnipeg. In partnership with the Province of
Manitoba, our team produced a protein-processing subsector
sell sheet to highlight Manitoba's protein advantage.
We also created a new sector video for agribusiness
highlighting protein processing and agricultural technology.
Investor Insights
As the pandemic continued to evolve, we recognized that many
Winnipeg companies were stepping up to meet the challenges
of COVID-19 and putting our city on the global map with
innovative products and services. The Investor Insights blog
and video series was created to display how YES! Winnipeg
investors continue to innovate in the face of challenges and
work to grow Winnipeg's economy.
