The Brandon Chamber of Commerce is holding an economic luncheon on March 26, 2026, to help local employers and residents understand the city’s financial direction. The event will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Victoria Inn, located at 3550 Victoria Ave in Brandon, Manitoba.
The Brandon University Business Administration Department is sponsoring the meeting, which features Carolyn Rogers as the keynote speaker. Rogers is a former student of the university and currently serves as the Senior Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada.
The discussion will focus on the national economic outlook and the 2026 renewal of Canada’s monetary policy framework. This framework is a set of rules that helps the Bank of Canada manage inflation and set interest rates, which are currently at 2.25 per cent.
Local business owners and residents can use the information from the luncheon to prepare for upcoming hiring trends and investment changes in the region. Registration for the event must be completed by March 23, 2026, while students will have a separate session held on the university campus.
