“We wanted to make life easier for our customers and their pocketbooks.”  

This from Stan Hiebert, General Manager at Titanium Mechanical.  

“We felt that we needed to look into buying in bulk to get the consumers a better price, because people are hurting financially, due to rising food costs and interest rates.” 

Success in business can be attributed to many reasons, and at Fairway Ford, one sits top of the list – community.   

“We can't do anything without the community behind us, and in turn, we want to be servants and give back and help where we can,” says John Verret, General Manager of Fairway Ford. “It's a great partnership.”  

“We’re doing a lot of positive things, and people are noticing and responding.”  

Pharmasave in Steinbach has now been open for over a year, and business is growing by leaps and bounds. According to owner Scott Penner, traffic has been particularly good recently, partially due to walk-in vaccination services.  

Despite a late snow and some milder temperatures, holiday excitement is well and truly underway at GNM Fine Jewellers in Steinbach.

“It’s that season again, even though it’s been kind of brown outside,” says Nick Lanteigne, Sales Manager at GNM. “We’re coming up on Christmas and starting to see shoppers come in and look for those special gifts.”

Or, more than gifts.

“Believe it or not,” Lanteigne points out, “Christmas is the most popular time of year to get engaged.”

“It was like a Christmas postcard!"

What began as a way to bring joy to people during the pandemic is now a holiday tradition for many families throughout the southeast. Brenda Levesque is the sponsorship coordinator with the Hanover Agricultural Society in Grunthal, where they’ve hosted Snow Place Like Home since Christmas 2020.

So what can snowgoers expect when they arrive at the Hanover Ag grounds?

December 20th. That’s the day Stone City Coffee Roasters will stop producing their wildly popular Merry Christmas Blend for 2023. 

Update: Power was restored at 2:50 AM

Manitoba Hydro is reporting that a power outage began at 1:41 AM in Steinbach. 

Lights went out along Main Street, towards Loewen Boulevard and Hespeler. Bethesda Hospital was also without power and running on generators. 

Manitoba Hydro is reporting that service to the nearly one thousand customers affected would be restored by 5:00 AM Wednesday. 

Call it community-minded Christmas spirit.
