The Manitoba government is demonstrating its support for quality education with the opening of three new schools for the 2025-26 school year, including Parkhill School in Steinbach.
“These new schools represent our government’s commitment to supporting families and building strong communities,” said Education and Early Childhood Learning Minister Tracy Schmidt. “By investing in modern, inclusive learning environments and accessible child-care spaces, we’re ensuring that students in growing neighbourhoods like Winnipeg’s Sage Creek and Steinbach have the opportunities and resources they need to thrive from their earliest years through to graduation.”
