Steinbach’s 12th Annual Winter Carnival will take place on Saturday, February 8th in and around the Centennial Arena. This year, the City is pleased to partner with Eastman Immigrant Services for the event.

“February is the month of the Winter Olympics, and we are excited to celebrate the many cultures that we have in the southeast,” said Jason Peters, Recreation Programmer for the City of Steinbach.  “One of the things that makes our Canadian heritage so rich is how we thrive during the winter months. We want to showcase our traditions, but also recognize the contributions that new Canadians bring to our community. We are excited to bring back the sleigh rides to the Carnival this year as well.”

Activities at the Carnival will include a Novice Winter Classic hockey game on the outdoor rink, snow painting, sleigh rides, cultural music and dance demonstrations in the Centennial Arena lobby, and public skating on the Centennial ice from 3:30 – 6:00 pm.
