They are who you interact with when you contact 311, have a concern about your utility bill, or want to book a Winnipeg Transit Plus trip. While the issues City of Winnipeg contact centre employees help with range significantly, they all work to ensure a friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable experience for residents.

That dedication to their work has led to seven City of Winnipeg contact centre employees being recognized by the Manitoba Customer Contact Association (MCCA).
