Census 2021 numbers were released on Tuesday revealing that Steinbach has grown 11.1% since 2016 and now has a population of 17,806.
Steinbach’s mayor Earl Funk says that is a remarkable number.
"It is fantastic to have growth like that. As you become a city, you get bigger and bigger and it takes more and more population to get your percentage up and when you look at 11.1%, for a city our size that is really good growth. And, it is twice the national average."
Canada’s population grew by 5.2% since 2016.
