A Dragon has helped demand catch fire for tickets to this year’s Steinbach Chamber of Commerce 60th annual Spring Banquet. Swooping in on May 14 is Bruce Croxon, an entrepreneur best known as a judge on CBC’s popular show Dragon’s Den that gives aspiring business people a shot at convincing investors that they have the next hot idea. Croxon also helped found Lavalife which one of the original dating websites over ten years ago.

“When he started it, social media wasn’t even on the radar. In his speech he’ll reveal his entrepreneurial journey and lessons learned in building the Lavalife organization into a $100 million company,” said Chamber executive director Linda Peters.

 Croxon will be speaking at an historic moment for the Chamber. After being founded by members so many decades ago, it has become an important place for businesses to network and work together for the betterment of the region according to Peters.

Last year was the first time long-time members were recognized for decades of work, with 32 members receiving recognition for over 30 years of service. This year, another 30 members will be recognized for 25 or more years. The recognition from this year going forward will be for 25 years in the community said Peters.

Anybody who wishes to attend is encouraged to call the Chamber before tickets for individuals or tables sell out at 204-326-9566.
