The Better Business Bureau - 75 years

Wednesday evening this week I joined more than 200 others to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in Manitoba. The BBB movement began in the second and third decade of the twentieth century in the United States. It moved to Canada and Manitoba with the incorporation, in June 1930, of the Better Business Bureau of Winnipeg (now the BBB serving Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario). Established to improve truth in advertising and to set high ethical standards for businesses, the BBB has played a very important role in improving business practices. Congratulations to BBB President Brian Garagan, BBB Executive Director Amaro Silva, Co-chairs for the 75th Anniversary Dinner Bob Cunningham and Klaus Lahr and many others who helped make the event a success.
