November 2023 Economic Development Update:
Sunrise Corner is the partnership of the RMs of Piney and Stuartburn promoting the southeast corner of Manitoba, Canada as an incredible place to live, work, play, visit, invest and explore. One of the ways we do that is to partner with other organizations that provide business owners with resources to successfully achieve their goals.
Piney Regional Chamber of Commerce
If you’re looking to learn skills to help build your business, connect with other local businesses, and contribute back to the community, you should consider membership in the Piney Regional Chamber of Commerce.

If you have a tourism-related business (and the majority of businesses could directly or indirectly count visitors as customers), you’ll want to join Eastman Tourism. They are the official Regional Tourism Association in Eastern Manitoba. They provide quality tourism information, support tourism operators and agencies, and facilitate networking and collaborations that strengthen the Eastern Manitoba tourism industry. www.eastmantourism.ca
