Established in 1904 as the Manitoba Hotel Keepers’ Association, it was later renamed the Province of Manitoba Hotel Association. In 1927, a second organization named the City and Provincial Hotelmen’s Association was founded but the two rival organizations united in April 1928 to form the Manitoba Hotel Association, with its executive drawn mostly from that of the newer organization.
