Maitland Bernard Strauss Steinkopf OC MBE QC (September 10, 1912 – November 22, 1970)[1] was a politician in Manitoba, Canada.
[3] Born at Winnipeg on September 10, 1912, son of Max Steinkopf (1881–1935) and Hedwig Meyer,[1] he graduated in law from the University of Manitoba in 1936.
Although Premier Roblin later referred to the matter as an innocent technical breach, it was considered serious enough for Steinkopf to resign his position and his seat in the legislature.
[2] He later served as chairman of the Manitoba Centennial Centre Corporation from 1963 until his death of a heart attack on Sunday, 22 November 1970.
The Manitoba Centennial Centre Corporation later established the Maitland Steinkopf Youth Fund in 1972 for students in the arts.
