The Manitoba Green Advantage (MGA) aims to strengthen Manitoba’s position as a leader in the green economy. With near-zero emission electricity and an abundance of critical minerals, Manitoba offers significant green investment opportunities. This program seeks to guide the province towards a greener future by providing businesses with the necessary tools and resources to reduce their carbon footprint.

“A Green Prairie Economy means strong, resilient businesses and communities with more opportunities for good-paying jobs across the region. The Manitoba Chambers of Commerce is perfectly positioned to work with business and community leaders to advance the green economy, and I look forward to greater collaboration between SMEs, businesses, and governments as we work together on a roadmap to ensure no one is left behind as we build the green Prairie economy.”
