Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/06/2022 (816 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Steinbach Chamber of Commerce’s vision is “Leading Growth. Connecting People,” and our team is passionate about helping businesses succeed. Local businesses are a part of the community’s backbone, employing family and friends, donating to sports teams and charities, and investing in Steinbach and surrounding area in so many other ways.
This year, we honour two businesses for being members of the Steinbach Chamber for 25 years. On behalf of the Steinbach Chamber’s board and staff, thank you to enVision Community Living and Athens Construction for all you do for our community.

enVision Community Living
enVision Community Living is a non-profit community-based organization committed to providing supports and services for people who live with an intellectual disability. This includes opportunities for personal growth and development and opportunities to live the life of their choosing in communities throughout southeast Manitoba.
This organization was founded in 1956 by a group of concerned families who gathered for mutual support when their children were refused entrance to public school because of intellectual disabilities. The Province of Manitoba accepted the responsibility to provide an education to all Manitobans in 1967.
In 1973, the first residence, Kindale Manor, opened in Steinbach providing a home for people returning to the community from a provincial institution and for young adults moving from their parental home to their very own home.
Subsequent years saw the development of Supported Independent Living services, respite, transportation, and a variety of vocational and activity-based day programs, including work opportunities and supports through Eastman Employment Services.
Starting with six students and one employee/teacher, enVision has grown to employ 460 staff and serves about 400 people each year. Services continue to grow in scope and focus to accommodate and respond to the community living dreams of people with intellectual disabilities in the area.
Athens Construction
Farrell and Nicki Rempel started Athens Construction in 1997 with a focus on barn building, expanding to houses shortly after. Once home building began, the work spoke for itself.
In some instances, Athens has been approached by clients, their children and their grandchildren, resulting in homes built for three generations. Concentrated on servicing clients in southeast Manitoba, Athens Construction is ready to work for you.
Steinbach is undoubtedly stronger with organizations like these playing a key role in the local economy. When you support local, you’re investing in your neighbours and in the future of your community. Thank you, enVision Community Living and Athens Construction, for your commitment to Steinbach and to the chamber network!
