The Selkirk & District Chamber of Commerce is hosting its annual Multi-Chamber Golf Tournament on June 18, 2026, in Selkirk, Manitoba. The event brings together business owners and community members for a day of networking with a variety of regional political leaders.

The tournament features several high-profile guest speakers, including Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew and Member of Parliament James Bezan. They will be joined by provincial and local leaders, including City of Selkirk Mayor Larry Johannson and representatives from the Rural Municipalities of St. Andrews, East St. Paul, West St. Paul, and St. Clements.

This gathering takes place during a period of local political transition. Both MLA Jeff Wharton and MLA Richard Perchotte, who are also scheduled to speak, have announced they will not seek re-election in the next provincial election. With provincial elections required by October 2027 and municipal elections set for October 28, 2026, the event provides a venue for the community to engage with officials ahead of these upcoming votes.

Established on December 6, 1901, as the Board of Trade of the Town of Selkirk, the chamber has served the region for over 124 years. Local business owners interested in attending the tournament can contact the organization for ticket information.
