 What People Are Saying

"Uniquely Manitoba spotlights our talented artists, craftspersons and specialty food producers in a wonderful showcase of Manitoba products.

By coaching these talented individuals through the product assessment, development, and marketing stages, Uniquely Manitoba allows producers to reach their full potential at a pace that suits their talents and background.

This initiative is an excellent opportunity for producers to share their energy and passion with other innovative small business owners. The Province of Manitoba is sincerely proud to support Uniquely Manitoba."

- The Honourable Gary Doer, Premier, Province of Manitoba.

"The Uniquely program was key in launching Sweet Truth Canadian Gourmet Candy. The team's expertise and knowledge – from identifying a strong product to all aspects of marketing including company image, packaging, pricing and how to participate in major gift shows was comprehensive! As a new company the learning curve is steep! With the support and exposure I gained from participating in the Uniquely trade show program, I increased national sales immediately, networked with distributors and brokers, won an award for the Best New Specialty Food Booth and was featured on the cover of the Vancouver Gift Show Buyers Guide the following year."

- Diane McMillan, Sweet Truth Canadian Gourmet Candy Co., Winnipeg MB

"The Uniquely program has given me valuable product and career development assistance which is not available anywhere else. This knowledge and confidence has allowed me to market my product nationally. The return on a very minimal investment will come back many fold even if wholesaling isn't for you. One only has to look at the quality of the people running the program and the profile of the sponsors, both private and public, to realize the value."

- Gary McKague, Northern Lights Studio, Winnipeg Beach, MB

"This program has given me a new experience – moving from small craft shows to wholesale markets. I have learned so much about presentation, paperwork and market development. Thank you Uniquely!"

- Yvette Bouvier, Early Canadian Crafts, Boggy Creek, MB

"Uniquely Manitoba allows artisans to be heard by sharing their passions and reaching a greater audience. We are able to focus on our art, concentrating on quality and ingenuity knowing that there is a greater outlet. There is positive energy surrounding this initiative with potential to explore, grow, and most of all, create."

- Celeste Brunel of Celestial Designs of St. Rose, MB
