Years after it was developed, Steinbach’s Henry Place has officially been named Henry Place.

As it turns out, Henry Place just off Henry Street was never named Henry Place at all. It appears “Henry Place” was just a placeholder while Henry Place was officially a part of Henry Street all along.

Steinbach CAO Troy Warkentin says this was only just discovered.

"Due to a survey that was being conducted in the area, it was discovered that this particular section of public roadway was never formally named and therefore not registered at Winnipeg Land Titles Office."

A street renaming bylaw was presented to City Council on Tuesday. Of course, council voted to rectify this old mistake.

Councillor Jac Siemens offered his thoughts noting "I think the good thing here is the street signs are already up."
