The City of Steinbach is looking forward to a full day of celebration activities on Canada Day, Wednesday, July 1st, 2015. Once again, the City has teamed up with the Mennonite Heritage Village to promote family fun activities starting with free admission to the museum at 10am until the fireworks finale at 10:45pm at the Steinbach Soccer Park.

In addition to an official flag raising ceremony at 1pm at the museum, there will horse drawn wagon rides and family entertainment throughout the afternoon. Families are then encouraged to pick their spot at the Steinbach Soccer Park for the evening celebration. Starting at 8pm, DJ Brenton will be entertaining the crowd with music and games. From 9-10:30pm free Canada Day cupcakes, glow sticks, and other giveaways will be handed out. The fireworks display is set to start no earlier than 10:45pm.

Prime viewing locations for the fireworks will be in the Soccer Park, Southland Church parking lot, L.A. Barkman Park (Abe’s Hill) and along McKenzie Avenue and Bush Farm Road.

The City is looking for volunteers to assist with handing out cupcakes and other free giveaways at the Soccer Park starting at 9pm on Canada Day. If you are interested in volunteering, please email communications@steinbach.ca or call 204-346-6572.

The City gratefully acknowledges the financial contribution from the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Celebrate Canada Program.
