Manitoba’s birthday was celebrated at the Mennonite Heritage Village in Steinbach with a day full of activities, history, and community fun. It featured a flag-raising ceremony, free birthday cake and activities from Eastman Immigrant Services.
The Manitoba Act of 1870 created the province, paving the way for new communities to form. Just a few years later, in 1873, the Privilgium was extended to Mennonites in Imperial Russia, inviting them to settle in Manitoba. By 1874, families arrived at the East Reserve, establishing what would become Steinbach.
