As planting season begins, Steinbach residents are once again invited to take part in one of the city’s most grassroots community efforts – quite literally. The city’s compost depots officially opened on May 3rd, and they’re now running every Saturday until October.

The depots are open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at three locations: Woodlawn School, Stonybrook Middle School, and the parking lot of Smith Neufeld Jodoin Law Office.

Chef JP Charpentier is bringing a French twist to the heart of Steinbach as he prepares to open the much-anticipated Forum & Bistro at the Southeast Event Centre. Set to open on June 12, the restaurant promises to delight guests with authentic French bistro fare while supporting the community.

A French bistro vibe

“I’m very excited to see guests inside the restaurant, enjoying good food and good times,” says Charpentier. “We’re aiming for a French bistro feel, but with simple, authentic dishes that everyone will love.”

A festival for all ages and backgrounds

Summer in the City is back June 13-15, and it’s bigger than ever, transforming downtown Steinbach into a lively celebration of Southeast Manitoba's culture, heritage, and artistic spirit. With no admission fee, a wide variety of free attractions, and something for every age group, this annual event has become the region’s most anticipated summer festival.

“It’s a place where the whole community comes together,” enthuses board chair Audrey Harder. “You’ll find music, food, art, and fun – there’s truly something for everyone.”

Live music, local talent, and community spirit

Steinbach’s Summer in the City festival returns next weekend, and music lovers can look forward to incredible live performances, community camaraderie, and the vibrant energy that has become the hallmark of this beloved event.

As Executive Director of the Steinbach Arts Council, David Klassen coordinates stage and production at Summer in the City. He says the festival’s mainstage area is the perfect blend of local talent and festival atmosphere.

Art lovers and curious festival-goers will find plenty to celebrate at this year’s Summer in the City festival in downtown Steinbach, especially within the vibrant hub that is Artists in the City. Cassandra Kornelson, one of the event organizers, describes the area as "the heartbeat of the artist part of the festival," where the creative spirit of the Southeast takes centre stage.
