Steinbach

The City of Steinbach continues to build strong connections with leaders at all levels of government, with Mayor Earl Funk emphasizing the importance of working together to support regional growth and services.

One of those connections was reinforced during a recent conversation between Funk and Manitoba’s Minister of Municipal and Northern Relations, Glen Simard.

“I thanked him for the upgrades on Highway 12,” said Funk. “That’s not just a Steinbach road—it connects the southeast, and people across the region rely on it.”

Liam Penner is just six years old but this past weekend, the golf sensation from Mitchell won a tournament that was held at Maplewood Golf Course.

If you think that six is young, Liam says he started golfing at a much younger age because of someone very special. "(I golf because of) my dad," he says with a big, proud smile. "I was one when I started golf."

Pretty amazing for the young athlete to be getting better as quick as he is, but Liam says he's enjoying the work. "We practice three times a week."
