The City’s Community Services Officer, Parking Meter Attendant, Designated Employee, and the RCMP are the only authorities who can issue parking tickets in Steinbach.
Yes. The City’s Community Safety Officer, Parking Meter Attendant, and Designated Employee have the same authority as the RCMP in issuing offence notices (tickets) and summons pertaining to parking violations.
A person who has received a Penalty Notice may pay the set fine or dispute it in front of a screening officer. Screening officers are the first tier of the adjudication process under the Municipal By-law Enforcement Act (MBEA). Screening officers “hear” a person’s dispute about the Penalty Notice and render a decision to uphold the penalty, reduce the penalty if permitted under the by-law, or cancel it.
The screening officer has the authority to confirm, reduce or cancel the administrative penalty.
Can a person dispute the decisions of a screening officer?
Yes. If a person is not satisfied with the decision of a screening officer, the person may request a review of the screening officer’s decision by an adjudicator.
Adjudicators are the second tier of the adjudication process. An adjudicator will hold a hearing on the matter and decide whether to uphold, reduce or cancel the penalty. Adjudicators also have the authority to hear disputes regarding compliance agreements.
Adjudicators are appointed by the Province. Municipalities will contact the chief adjudicator to arrange for an adjudication sitting.
What does adjudication cost?
The adjudication fee is $25 and is paid to the municipality by the person requesting adjudication prior to the hearing. If the adjudicator determines that the person was successful at the adjudication review, the adjudicator will order the municipality to refund the adjudication fee to the person.
Why would my vehicle get towed?
If you think your vehicle has been towed, please call the RCMP at 204-326-1234. The RCMP will know if your vehicle was removed by City staff, and may be able to help locate your vehicle if it was removed by others.

c) in a position that causes interference with firefighting; or
d) appears to be abandoned on or near a street; or
