Steinbach city councillor Elbert Toews is seeking a third term in office.

In his re-election announcement, Toews says service on council is providing the perfect challenge since he retired from education.  He feels council has accomplished a lot in recent years with the new aquatic centre and assisting in the expansion of facilities for seniors and for the arts.  As for the future, Toews believes council will have to focus on proper development during this period of rapid growth.
