Everyone knows that golf season has officially opened, but it’s also mini golf and ice cream season at La Broquerie Golf!

Manager Pat Gauthier explains that mini golf is fairly new for them.

“Last year was our first full year of mini golf. Everyone can enjoy it – from the young, all the way to the young-at-heart. It's good easy fun for everybody.”

Gauthier and his team felt the town needed something more to do than baseball and golf – that’s when they decided to put in a mini golf course at La Broquerie Golf.

Cliff and Janice Querido know the challenges of receiving accessible healthcare firsthand.

As nurses, they have worked on the industry’s front lines, doing their best to ensure all patients of all ages and abilities can receive the services they need. And now, as owners of Keen Companion Health Services, the husband-and-wife team is going even further to provide quality care.

Sometimes literally.

Each year on the third weekend of June, four Main Street blocks in the heart of Steinbach are transformed into midways, markets, entertainment stages and other vibrant spaces that celebrate the culture and heritage of Southeastern Manitoba.

Gathering and sharing a meal is a connecting experience. It brings people together to mark traditions, to express gratitude, and to offer help.

The Steinbach Arts Council is highlighting community impact at this year’s fundraising Gala.  With a focus on developing skills through arts recreation like leadership, commitment, critical and creative thinking, mental and emotional well-being, this year’s event celebrates a significant increase in participation at this regional hub for the arts.

Brynden Devenny is the Manager of Client Experience at HPS says, “It's an opportunity to come together with other leaders in the community and just talk about what are your goals?

On the very edge of the Sandilands Provincial Forest, a mere twenty-minute drive from Steinbach, there’s a very special place where you can dig your toes in the sand, cool off in the water… even enjoy a lunch on a floating picnic table! 

“Our floating picnic tables are very popular,” laughs Hilary Holmes. As one of the owners of The Twisted Root RV Park, she’s almost surprised at their success.  

It all began back in 2014, when she and her husband Brad purchased the property next to their Marchand home.  

“Excellence through opportunity.”

There is excitement in the halls at Steinbach Christian School these days, created by the growing K-12 institution’s focus on providing new opportunities and living with purpose.

“More than 90% of our high school students are involved in a co-curricular activity,” says Thor Barkman, SCS principal. “By giving students opportunities to be involved, they can start to understand who they are and what they’re good at.”

Since launching iBEAUTY this past September, Tina has been helping Southeast Manitoba women find their inner royalty.

“In my heart, I think every woman deserves to be a queen or princess,” she says. “Life is for enjoying.”

Relatively new to Steinbach after moving to Canada from China, Tina is excited to spread the word about iBEAUTY, which has a storefront at 98 Brandt St. – near the corner with Reimer Ave W. Her shop carries items made in Canada and the United States, but most of its inventory comes from overseas.

They’re a cleaning company. But they don’t sell sparkling kitchen floors and lemon-fresh bathrooms- that’s amateur territory. By far, Cindy-rella’s top seller is the deep breath released when you open the door to a clean space after a long day.

Based in Steinbach, but reaching as far as Altona and Morris, Cindy-rella’s Cleaning Company specializes in residential cleaning. So what sets them apart?

“We really care. It’s more than just cleaning your house- we love to be able to help you as an individual.”
