Ste. Anne is a small town in the heart of southeastern Manitoba’s agricultural belt, about 50 km southeast of Winnipeg, close enough to the city to attract commuters, distinct enough to function as its own community. The population sits around 1,900, with a local economy built around farming, small business, and the kind of municipal services that keep a tight-knit community running.
It’s also one of Manitoba’s Francophone communities, with roots in the francophone settlement of the region and a bilingual character that shapes local institutions. For organizations that serve a French-speaking population, the expectation of working with partners who understand that environment is a reasonable one.
Ste. Anne sits within a southeastern Manitoba service corridor that includes Steinbach to the northwest. A region that represents a growing and economically active part of the province with real IT and compliance needs.
For the Town of Ste. Anne and local businesses, FSET’s managed IT and cybersecurity services provide the kind of support that small communities often can’t source locally: proactive infrastructure management, endpoint protection, email security, and backup solutions that meet Manitoba’s FIPPA requirements for public-sector data.
For law enforcement in the region, FSET’s ConnectedOfficer® platform is built for Canadian policing environments. Including smaller forces that need mobile-first, compliance-ready technology without the overhead of building it themselves. ConnectedOfficer runs on Samsung Galaxy hardware, works in the field, and is backed by FSET’s Private Community Cloud for Law Enforcement (PCCLE). It’s a conversation worth having regardless of force size.
For a community like Ste. Anne, “local IT support” has traditionally meant either a generalist provider from Winnipeg with limited understanding of rural and municipal operations, or no dedicated support at all. FSET’s model is different: an ISO 27001:2022 certified team with deep experience serving small municipalities.
Canadian-owned. ISO 27001:2022 certified. Built for the organizations that keep communities running.
