Municipal Support - Mutual Aid/Training District Financial Incentives
The Mutual Aid District Training Incentive Fund was implemented by the Office of the Fire Commissioner (OFC) and managed through the Manitoba Emergency Services College (MESC) to promote and enhance training at the Mutual Aid District level across the province. This highly successful initiative has proven, over the years, to provide quality courses at the district level that would otherwise be difficult for many municipal departments to obtain.
The $11,500.00 is allocated annually per Mutual Aid or Training District to support the continued development and enhancement of active members of their participating departments.
Courses eligible for Training Incentive Funds are MESC courses only, unless authorized prior by the OFC. Reimbursements are paid directly to the Mutual Aid or Training District based on the successful completion of the course or seminar in accordance with the Mutual Aid District Training Incentive Invoice.
A list of these courses/seminars can be found on the Mutual Aid District Training Incentive Invoice Form by clicking: Mutual Aid/Training Incentive Invoice Document.
Along with the Mutual Aid/Training District Financial Incentive Invoice, the Fire Department Training Report must be completed and submitted with all paperwork.
This fund will also support Manitoba fire departments with First Aid and CPR C Courses. These courses must be taught by a provider identified on the Workplace Safety & Health website at:
