The Steinbach Community Foundation is hosting a free estate planning workshop on April 9, 2026, to help local families understand the legal tools needed to protect their wishes. The one-hour session will be held at 7:00 PM at the Eastman Education Centre, located at 385 Loewen Blvd. in Steinbach, Manitoba.
The workshop will be led by Andrew Warkentin, a lawyer with Thompson Dorfman Sweatman LLP. A Steinbach native who has served as a director on the foundation’s board since September 2023, Warkentin will provide practical insights into wills, powers of attorney, and health care directives. These documents are essential for residents looking to outline their personal and medical preferences while supporting their families.
The Steinbach Community Foundation organizes such events as part of its ongoing work as a registered charity. The organization manages endowment funds to provide annual grants for local projects, including those focused on health, education, and family well-being.
Residents interested in attending the free workshop must register in advance. To RSVP or obtain more information, contact Lynda Lambert, the foundation’s executive director, by calling or texting 204-823-4521, or by emailing [email protected].
Following the estate planning session, the community has another opportunity for a free local event. The Steinbach Arts Council is presenting a professional theatre production titled Tad and Birdy, performed by the Manitoba Theatre for Young People. Sponsored by Steinbach Credit Union, the performance will take place on April 10, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Pat Porter Active Living Centre.
