Stefanson was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and was educated at the University of Western Ontario (receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science). She has also received CSC (Canadian Securities Course) and FPP (Professional Financial Planning) designations. After receiving her degree, Stefanson worked as a Special Assistant to the Office of the Canadian Prime Minister; she returned to Manitoba in 1993, to work as an assistant to federal Agriculture Minister Charlie Mayer.
