Payworks’ journey began over two decades ago in Winnipeg, the hometown of its founders. And while they’ve rapidly expanded nationwide, the company has always maintained a strong connection to its roots. This connection is evident in Payworks’ commitment to multi-faceted community support and to fostering a culture of mutual success. As Co-Founder Barb Gamey puts it, “Our community is unique in that it’s one degree of separation. We want to see each other win. We celebrate the successes of other businesses here.”
Payworks’ purpose of “doing right by people” is reflected in its support for organizations that contribute to holistic community wellness. The company recognizes the profound impact that artistic expression can have on individuals and communities by enriching lives and fostering empathy. This is just one of many reasons why they were pleased to sponsor Manitoba Opera’s world premiere of the Indigenous-led opera Li Keur: Riel’s Heart of the North.
Payworks is also proud to support the artists who bring unique skills, experiences, and perspectives to the stage. Given this sentiment, the company’s support of Li Keur and its celebration of Métis culture was a natural fit with Payworks’ commitment to uplifting diversity in our city.
As Manitoba Opera expands the narrative by creating opportunities for more diverse stories to be told on the operatic stage, Payworks is also looking to the future. The development of their new head office in South Pointe is paving the way for Payworks’ continued growth and ongoing commitment to serving businesses and communities across Canada.
