Activate Games

It was a pleasure to welcome Mayor of Winnipeg Scott Gillingham to Activate HQ this week.   Adam Schmidt had the opportunity to give the Mayor a behind-the-scenes tour of our headquarters and share the story of how Activate has grown from an idea in Winnipeg into a global entertainment brand.   The conversation highlighted more than just our games - it focused on the incredible people who make it all possible. Today, more than 175 team members work from our Winnipeg headquarters, supporting locations around the world and helping drive the continued growth of a company proudly built in Manitoba.   Thank you, Mayor Gillingham, for taking the time to visit, learn more about our team, and discuss the impact Winnipeg businesses can have on the global stage. We're proud to call Winnipeg home and excited for what's ahead.   #Winnipeg #EconomicDevelopment #Innovation #Entertainment #MadeInManitoba #ActivateGames
