The first Steinbach Pride March has faced a number of challenges and concerns along the way to the July 9 date, now the city council is refusing to endorse the event.
City council announced their decision in a media release Tuesday, “Council has not officially endorsed the July 9 Pride March. Steinbach residents will decide themselves whether they wish to attend this event.”

The city announcement comes after Manitoba RCMP supported the march on Monday. D Division Commanding Officer Scott Kolody said he would attend the Pride March and Manitoba RCMP would “provide all required resources to ensure participants can walk in Steinbach knowing they are safe, secure and have the RCMP by their side.”
The March is scheduled to begin at a church on Main Street and end with a rally at City Hall.
