Enrollment surge and legacy honoured at Steinbach Christian’s 75-year celebration

Steinbach Christian School is celebrating 75 years of providing Christ-centred education, a milestone that has brought generations of alumni, staff, students and community members together to reflect on the school's growth and enduring values. 

The Country 107 Morning Show served up by A&W Steinbach covers it all — from local politics and potholes to traffic, sports, and yes... even teddy bears. 

Tracy Whitby, Executive Director of Agape House, recently joined the morning show to talk about one of the most adorable events of the year: Teddy Bear Fun Day, happening today, June 7 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at E.A. Friesen Park — that’s the one right beside the Jake Epp Library. 

Eastman Immigrant Services (EIS) is shifting into gear as they prepare for their Settlement Workers in Schools Summer Bike program.

Olesja Schwabauer, EIS’s program director, says the new initiative is aimed at newcomer children aged 10 to 13 from low-income families who don’t have access to a bicycle.

Fifty more children in Winnipeg will have a bed to call their own thanks to the efforts of Manitoba Blue Cross and local non-profit Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP).

Hanover Ag held its annual Spring Twist off event tonight in Grunthal, and the stands were full.
