It’s been 12 years since three couples from Steinbach first opened the doors of The LumberZone, and what started as a dream scribbled into a business plan has grown into one of Manitoba’s most respected building supply companies. With locations in Steinbach, Transcona, and Stonewall, The LumberZone has not only expanded its footprint but also deepened its ties to the communities it serves.

The first ever FSG Outdoor Show will be taking place on Saturday, May 17th at Friedensfeld Community Hall from 9am until 4pm.

Trevor Fehr is the owner and operator of Fehr’s Sporting Goods (FSG) in Steinbach. He says the idea for the show came to him because many members of his family own businesses in other provinces, and have been putting together shows for several years. He realized there was a gap in the market here in Southeast Manitoba.

Pet owners, animal enthusiasts and everyone else in the community is invited to join Pet Valu as they celebrate their Steinbach store expansion on Saturday, May 10.

“For the Grand Opening of our addition, we’re going to have a bit of an event,” says longtime store owner Barry Peters. “We’ll have a BBQ with hot dogs, chips and drinks, and it’ll be run by Steinbach & Area Animal Rescue with the help of Popcorn & Binkies Rescue Haven.”

With warmer weather just around the corner, Steinbach and area residents can’t wait to wash away those last traces of winter. And Cole Trudeau is ready to do the washing for them. The power washing, to be precise.

Trudeau is entering his third season as owner-operator of CT Power Washing, and while he admits he’s still getting used to business ownership he can’t hide his excitement about getting those sidewalks, decks, fences, roofs and backyard living spaces clean and treated for another spring and summer.

Kaleigh Kocian is on a mission to make body sugaring accessible for women in the Southeast. And just in time for the approaching summer season, she’s added laser hair removal to her arsenal.

Kocian first fell in love with body sugaring as a Winnipeg resident, for many reasons.

“Sugaring is really an art – but there is science behind it, with the removal of the hair from the root,” she explains. “It’s a 100% natural hair removal method that results in thinner hair regrowth, and in my experience, actually boosts your confidence – even when your hair grows back.”

Good N' Natural is proud to announce a free educational event that promises to be both enlightening and empowering for anyone interested in natural approaches to brain health and aging. Renowned naturopathic doctor and author Dr. Kate Rhéaume will speak on this topic.

Dr Kate Rhéaume will dive into the science behind inflammation and its connection to cognitive decline, particularly as we age.

The event will offer practical guidance on:

Excitement is building as the Winnipeg Jets enter the playoffs, and the Southeast Event Centre is bringing people together to watch hockey on the big screen. Well, actually, big screens.

Director of Communications at the Southeast Event Centre, Michelle Sawatzky-Koop, says their screens are 15 feet tall and 45 feet wide so you can really see every pass, every check, every goal!

If it feels somewhat different to walk through the doors of Steinbach’s Pharmasave, it might be because so many faces are familiar. Or because the staff’s positive demeanor is a top-down dynamic. Or because a customer-first approach ensures each client is treated like a person, and not a number.

Or, maybe it’s a bit of everything.

“Most people don’t realize how much he was actually involved in.”

All are welcome to join South East Helping Hands at a Retirement Party hosted in honor of board chairman Hank Klassen!

After 44 years of ensuring that families in the Southeast have food to put on the table, Hank Klassen of South East Helping Hands officially retired on December 31st, 2024. Months since his departure, his absence at the organization is still bittersweet, but the gratitude for such an amazing person remains.

“When it comes to fixing auto glass, we are the best at what we do, because it’s ALL we do.”

This from Nathan Kalstrom, owner of Dedicated Auto Glass in Steinbach.

“I’ve been fixing and replacing auto glass here for twenty years,” he reveals.

Before it became Dedicated, the business at 22 Loewen Boulevard in Steinbach had been Hometown Auto Glass, where Kalstrom got his start back in 2002.
