2012/13 Mutual Aid District Training Incentive Fund
The Mutual Aid District Training Incentive Fund was implemented by the Office of the Fire Commissioner in an effort 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 accredited training programs at the district level that would otherwise be difficult for many municipal departments to obtain.
$ 6500.00 is allocated annually per Mutual Aid or Training District to train and/or upgrade the qualifications of the members of their participating departments. Training must be done by local Emergency Service Instructors recognized by the Manitoba Emergency Services College for that specific program area. Monies are paid directly to the Mutual Aid or Training District based on the number of successful course graduates in accordance with the following fee schedule:
COURSE |
RATE |
Fire Fighting Level I & II (Practical Evaluation) |
$350.00 |
Fire Fighting Level I & II (Written Evaluation) |
$150.00 |
Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) |
$300.00 |
Basic Rescuer or Level C CPR (8 hrs.) and Standard First Aid (16 hrs) - Initial Course |

Basic Rescuer or Level C CPR (8 hrs.) and Standard First Aid (16 hrs) – Re-certification |
$100.00 |
Incident Command 100 |
$100.00 |
Courses eligible for Training Incentive Funds are the Manitoba Emergency Services College courses only and must be taught by an Emergency Services Instructor recognized by the Manitoba Emergency Services College.
The funds generated by the District through this initiative are to be used to support the continued development and enhancement of District’s training capacity through the initiatives such as the development of the District’s specialty instructor network.

Training Initiatives Fund/Building Manitoba Fund
The twenty Mutual Aid or Training Districts are allocated funding by the provincial government in order to support the local training capacity. Each Mutual Aid or Training District is eligible for funds, in the form of a Grant, for “Initiatives or projects that will enhance the training capacity of the district.”
The Grant is funded through the Provincial Department of Local Government. The fund is administered by the Office of the Fire Commissioner.
Districts are able to apply for funding of various projects supported by the District. This fund provides for more flexibility for the Districts to embark on projects not previously available.
Projects include necessary expenses directly related to supporting the delivery of Mutual Aid District training programs and public education initiatives. ONLY projects that meet these criteria will be considered. This includes specifically identified items, equipment, materials, or training events;
- Development of regional training sites and associated training props
- Purchase of text books or other training materials
- Purchase of training mannequins and other props
- Purchase of audio visual equipment
- Purchase of consumable items utilized for a specific purpose
- Design, development and execution of staged training exercises...(view complete document and Building Manitoba Fund District Resolution)
