Some businesses in Steinbach are looking for some new ways to provide incentives to their employees.  They are interested in giving their staff gift certificates but would like to see if there is some way to keep the money within the community.  So they approached the Steinbach Chamber of Commerce about it.  Spokeperson Doug Homick says they are working on some Steinbach gift certificates called "Steinbucks".  Several  major employers have expressed interest in handing out the "Steinbucks" and a number of retails have said they want to be part of this as well.  Homick says it's encouraging that not only are industries looking at providing jobs in the community but they also see the need to support shopping locally.
