Commitment to Community
At Canad Inns, being Manitoba Owned, Manitoba Grown, Manitoba PROUD means more than words—it’s how we live. We believe in giving back to the communities we serve through partnerships, sponsorships, and initiatives that bring people together.
How We Give Back
Event Sponsorships & Charitable Support
Canad Inns sponsors many events, charities, and festivals across Manitoba. From local initiatives to national programs, we are proud to contribute to the quality of life in the communities we serve.
Signature Event: Canad Inns Winter Wonderland

Celebrating Manitoba Through Art
At Canad Inns, we believe our spaces should feel like home—and home is Manitoba. That’s why we proudly feature photography and artwork created by Manitobans throughout our Destination Centres. From sweeping prairie landscapes to vibrant city scenes, these pieces celebrate the beauty, culture, and spirit of our province in every guest room and public space.

Why It Matters
Art connects people. It tells stories. It reminds us of where we belong. By showcasing local talent, we support Manitoba’s creative community and give our guests a true sense of place. Seasonal displays and past photo contests have brought thousands of stunning images into our spaces—capturing Manitoba’s lakes, forests, prairies, and landmarks. Every image is a tribute to the province we’re proud to call home.
