Our Mission Statement

The City of Steinbach’s mission statement was adopted on June 17, 1997. Together, Council and City department heads at that time worked through a process to create the following mission statement:

"Steinbach is a clean, safe, and vibrant community that values tradition and prosperity. Our mission is to preserve the quality of life Steinbach is known for while effectively managing its growth and resources."

Corporate Services develops, coordinates, and implements broad organization-wide systems and procedures.  This is achieved by coordinating with the various operating departments and the services and programs they provide.

Human Resources performs administrative and accounting duties relating to the payroll and human resources systems of the City to ensure legislative and financial compliance relating to salary, benefits and employee information.

Finance is responsible for all financial operations of the City ensuring that statutory requirements consistent with established and generally accepted accounting and auditing procedures are met. The department also co-ordinates information technology, communication plans, property taxation, long range financial planning, debt financing, budget and capital improvement programs for the City.

Opportunities to Serve Your City

If you are looking for a way to get more involved in the community and City issues, a position with City Council or the Jake Epp Library Board may be your perfect opportunity.

City Council
Six council members and the Mayor are all elected at large for four-year terms. Council, including the Mayor, is responsible for developing and evaluating the policies and programs of the City and to ensure that the powers, duties, and functions given to them are appropriately carried out. The Mayor also has a duty to provide leadership and direction to the council and to act as its head during deliberations. Council elections are held every four years.

Jake Epp Library
The Jake Epp Library is a facility that caters to the literary needs of southeastern Manitoba. Public library boards are governing boards, legal corporations with the authority to make policy and to govern the library’s public affairs under the Public Libraries Act, 1997, Part II (21); Part III (27). As a member of the Jake Epp Library Board, your fiduciary duty is to act honestly and in good faith and in the best interests of the library. This means that the interests of the library take precedence over your personal interests or those of any other group with which you are associated. With circulation numbers growing steadily, this board provides challenges and rewards to those wishing to better our community. The board is composed of seven members appointed by Steinbach City Council, including one member of Council. Terms for appointees run for a period of two years.
