“Most people think about movies when they hear about a Scene card or a Scene+ card,” Lee Kotowicz, owner of Sobeys in Steinbach admits. “But it’s our new loyalty program, alongside Scotiabank and Cineplex.”

Sobeys in Steinbach has a new rewards system! Not a new name to frequent movie-goers, Scene and Scene+ cards have been around for quite some time. Kotowicz clarifies what makes this card more than just for movies.

BSI Insurance is hosting a Grand Re-opening today, October 4th, from noon until 2:00 PM, at their location in Steinbach’s Clearspring Centre.

In addition to the travel voucher draw, Branch Manager Tammy Bydeley says there will be many reasons for everyone to join them in celebrating their new look.

“There are a lot of people that are going to find that they just can’t make it through.”

After two years of virtual celebration, the 2022 Steinbach Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards will see a return to an in-person event on Tuesday, September 27th .

They hadn’t planned on holding a re-opening celebration this month, but on September 24th Best West Pet Foods will invite the public to explore their new location at 336 Main St. in Steinbach – the former Video Max across from Giant Tiger. 

It was a move necessitated by the July Main St. fire that devastated several local businesses. And while they’re still applying some finishing touches, the Best West staff are looking forward to seeing some friendly faces – and familiar pets – at the event. 

Southeastern Manitoba residents go to the polls on October 26, 2022. The following is the most up-to-date information from Elections Manitoba and local returning officers.

A full century is a long time for any business to stick around, so it’s no wonder that Canadian Tire is doing it up right.

Reyn Kroeker from Canadian Tire in Steinbach says the staff had a great time decorating the store.

“We did go the whole nine yards with the balloons, it was a fun time for us!”

Times have changed since the first Canadian Tire store opened its doors in 1922, and the franchise has come a long way over the past ten decades.

Motorists passing Victoria Plaza on Brandt Street can’t help but notice a new pharmacy has arrived.  

Scott Penner shares his story, and what led to his decision to open a Pharmasave location in Steinbach.   

“I grew up in Kleefeld and Steinbach,” reveals Penner. “I went to the SRSS, graduated from the University of Manitoba Faculty of Pharmacy in 1992, then lived in southern Ontario for about 25 years. Just three years ago, I moved back to be closer to family here and many of my longtime friends and colleagues.” 

On September 14, at approximately 10:05 am, Morris RCMP responded to a disturbance in Lowe Farm.

It was reported that a male was walking on the road, screaming and smashing vehicles with a metal bar on Main Street.

Several officers immediately headed to the scene.

Kleefeld Construction has been a community fixture for a quarter of a century. Reflecting on the company’s growth over the years, owner Dave Siemens notes that it all began in 1997. He had just graduated from seminary with a master’s degree in counselling… but what happened next was just not in the plan.
