Anyone who has undergone a home or cottage building project will know first-hand the sometimes considerable wait times associated with the design phase. It’s a province-wide issue, and one Marshall Drafting & Design was established to help address.

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.

Alvin and Walter Hildebrand, along with the entire team at Hydro Ag Supply, are looking forward to visiting with existing and prospective customers while highlighting their range of equipment at their upcoming Open House/Customer Appreciation Day.

“It takes a lot of energy- from the artists’ tent to the mainstage. Lots of planning goes into it, and we have a great time doing it!”

Summer In The City is just around the corner, and excitement is rising for board staff and volunteers.

Steinbach Arts Council’s Executive Director David Klassen is in charge of all things arts for Summer In The City. He shares that 15 years of festivals has given the board quite a bit of insight into what makes for a memorable event.

Changes are happening at Steinbach Chiropractic Clinic, including staff increases and a change of name!

Dr. Terry Kehler, DC, has been practicing in southeastern Manitoba for over 30 years. Originally combining his practice with that of Doctor Ken Doerksen, DC to create Steinbach Chiropractic Clinic in 1995. Kehler now leads the team at the revamped Steinbach Chiropractic Health & Wellness. 

“We’ve had a lot of practitioners join our clinic over the years,” says Kehler. “And have decided that a more inclusive name change would reflect our multidisciplinary staff.”

2024 marks 55 years of communities raising funds and riding in support of Red Rock Bible Camp.

Red Rock’s annual fundraising Cyclathon on Saturday, June 1, starts in Steinbach, Landmark, and Winnipeg, including a stop for lunch at the halfway mark.

Hanover residents have likely seen one of Hanover Doors’ many commercial projects – the Blumenort Fire Hall.

Audrey Harder is known to many as the Board Chair of Summer in the City. However, she likes to point out that her near-decade of involvement with the event started as a volunteer face-painter.

“I started by volunteering in the kids area,” she recalls. “Then I was the Volunteer Coordinator for the kids area, and then I did face-painting. I’d spend entire days face-painting and absolutely loved it. And I became really good at it!”
