Due to the challenges faced by the local business community and tourism sector this past year, the Steinbach Chamber has created the “Backyard Tourist” contest. The new program is an opportunity to support local and be entered to win some incredible local tourism prize packs valued at $150 each.

“Like other Chamber initiatives, the Backyard Tourist event focuses on leading growth and connecting people in our community,” said Wayne Patram, Steinbach Chamber President. “Our community is significant and unique. Chamber events such as this support economic growth and stability for our business community as we reopen, and that speaks to the benefit of our community as a whole.”

Community members are invited to participate in the event in one of two ways. Full details for the Backyard Tourist contest can be found online at steinbachchamber.com.

“Local businesses are more than just a place to shop – they are a part of the community’s backbone, and they invest in the community in so many ways,” said Michelle Bezditny, Executive Director for the Chamber. “I am thankful for our community who continues to show their support and build each other up. I am thankful for our business leaders who continue to advocate in support of the health of our community and the health of our local businesses. Steinbach and area are considered communities with incredible heart, character, generosity, and integrity. The Steinbach Chamber is honoured to be a part of this exceptional community as we continue to lead growth and connect people!”

Daily draws will take place on weekdays from July 19-30, 2021. Ten incredible prize packages to be won, valued at $150 each, filled with gift cards to a variety of local tourism and hospitality businesses.
