A Syrian Immigrant To Winnipeg Is Creating Some of the Finest Ice Cream In Canada

In true Winnipeg fashion, Chaeban Ice Cream opened its doors on the first day of winter in December 2017. Today, Chaeban Ice Cream thrives with Winnipeg’s resounding support and love of ice cream (in all seasons). Their ice cream can also be found in grocery stores across Manitoba. 

Part-owner Joseph Chaeban spoke to Zuher Almusre about the history of Chaeban Ice Cream, how it started, and what challenges he faced to reach this success in Winnipeg. He and his family came to Canada via Lebanon and Turkey from Syria when the war displaced many people.

Chaeban's business plays an important role in the growth of the economy in Winnipeg. He employs newcomers and trains them so that they can master the work to integrate into the city of Winnipeg and feel stable. He also hires employees without requiring proficiency in the English language, which is considered the biggest challenge for immigrants. 

Joseph said that he feels grateful to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Canada for all the facilities they provided him that contributed to his success today as if it was a dream come true. He said I am very happy here, and I will do my best to return the favour to Canada by helping communities integrate and settle.
