MJardin Group

MJardin Group

MJardin Group evaluated several high-population centers for our flagship cannabis cultivation, extraction and R&D centre. We chose Winnipeg due to its diverse, well-trained workforce, hydro rates and centralized Canadian location.

YES! Winnipeg introduced our team to key local decision-makers and influencers, which was critical for us to understand the local landscape. YES! Winnipeg is an excellent partner for our growing organization as we look to further invest in the local economy.

Hinduja Global Solutions (HGS)

Hinduja Global Solutions (HGS)

As HGS grows our Work@Home presence across Canada, I have had the opportunity to interact with many provincial and community stakeholders across each province, and I can state without a doubt, the support and communication with YES! Winnipeg has been the most positive and productive. Bill Coulter has done an amazing job of introducing me to key stakeholders in not only Winnipeg proper, but provincially as well. The sense of Community and Cooperation amongst all groups I was introduced to is something I have not seen in other jurisdictions, each group working with the others to achieve a common goal, to grow business in Manitoba. Bill continues to help build our network and growth prospects in Winnipeg, kudos to Bill and the YES! Winnipeg team for making our entry into the Manitoba market so easy and productive.

I recently experienced my first familiarization tour organized by YES! Winnipeg. What impressed me most about that team’s efforts was the high value of the information visiting executives were exposed to at every turn. From the diverse, well-prepped local business leaders who participated in the prearranged meetings to the customized research materials augmenting these sessions, YES! Winnipeg ensured our city’s value proposition was persuasively presented. An investment in YES! Winnipeg is an investment in Winnipeg’s future. I believe it’s that simple.

Thompson Dorfman Sweatman LLP (TDS Law)

YES! Winnipeg performs important work on behalf of the local business community. Perhaps most impressive to me is its focus on ensuring its investors and collaborators see real value in staying actively engaged with the YES! team. One way our own firm benefits is through YES! Winnipeg’s referral process. From external prospects considering a Winnipeg expansion to local firms looking for professional legal services, YES! Winnipeg has been an excellent partner in uncovering opportunities that might otherwise elude us.

Overall, the experience in Manitoba was just seamless.  Everything was made easy for us. We felt that everybody was rowing in the same direction and there was a real passion when talking about innovation, technology, foreign investment and bringing Ubisoft to Winnipeg.

The team at YES! Winnipeg never dropped the ball at any moment. They allowed us to meet the right people and pass along the right message at all times. They really made things happen for both Winnipeg and for Ubisoft. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with them in the future.
