The Parkland Chamber of Commerce and Workforce Education Manitoba are putting on a Parkland Business Bus Tour in mid-June.

Participants will visit Winnipegosis and Ste Rose on June 11th, before seeing businesses in Dauphin, Gilbert Plains, and Grandview on June 12th, 

Stephanie Jaddock with Workforce Education Manitoba says they are looking to build essenttial skills through this event.

"Those are things like what kind of reading and writing and what kind of communication skills you need. And I think that just bringing awareness to what workplace education can bring to businesses and individuals to help them grow and reach their goals that they have individually or as a business or as a community.  And I think that creating a collaborative environment where we can share information and learn from each other - I think the bus will really help us with that."

Chamber Executive Director Stephen Chychota says there are several benefits for members to take part in one or both days of this event.

"The story telling that we have on this and the ability to share what is going on out here.  We can not share enough about what is going on in this region.  And there is a tremendous amount of opportunity, but also progress that is happening.  And we have to be able to tell that story.  I think that it is making those connections and having that ability to collaborate - it is getting members together."

Participants can register for either one day at a cost of $50, or both days for $80.

You are encouraged to register by early next week through the Parkland Chamber's website.
