“While we’re still a couple months away from rodeo time, the excitement is already in full force,” he says.

For every childcare space in Steinbach and the surrounding area, three or four children are currently in need of one. Kinder Korner, for example, has a preschool waiting list that recently surpassed 400.

“Steinbach is a bit of a childcare desert,” says Dana Cyrenne. “The need is so great that we thought it was time for us to be proactive and start looking at what we can do to offer the community some more spaces.”

When Jo Unger opened Steinbach’s Dairy Queen on June 5, 1989, she instantly became a plumber, electrician and mechanic.

“I couldn’t afford to hire people to do that work for me,” she recalls. “I had to do that myself.”

Unger, who was enrolled in the University of Manitoba’s Certified General Accounting program at the time, paused her studies to open the Dairy Queen. For three years she worked every day, open to close, and frequently dipped into her savings account to keep the business afloat.
