Following an outpouring of hometown pride from coast to coast, Kraft Canada and TSN announced the Top 20 communities selected as finalists for the Kraft Celebration Tour, including Pinawa and Steinbach as the Manitoba communities!

Now, the fate of Pinawa and Steinbach – along with the fate of the other 18 finalists in the Kraft Celebration Tour – rests in the hands of our community as we can vote for the 10 most-deserving tour stops to host TSN and SPORTSCENTRE this summer during 10 days of head-to-head online voting from July 12 to 23.

As part of the Kraft Celebration Tour, Pinawa or Steinbach will receive a $25,000 community refresh from Kraft Canada to be used for improvements to a facility in the prize-winning area. If selected, Pinawa pledges to put the $25,000 community refresh from Kraft Canada towards renovating the Orville Acres Arena, while Steinbach will put the money towards improving the community’s rugby pitch and building a clubhouse for the Steinbach Rugby Club.
