'Safety culture': Manitoba justice minister announces safety benefits – Winnipeg

Manitoba's justice minister says a rebate will help create a “culture of safety” across the province to encourage home and business owners to buy safety equipment.

Matt Wiebe said Monday that any purchases made after Sept. 1 of last year could qualify for a $300 discount, with the app system launching in June.

Security cameras, alarm system equipment, motion detectors and more. such as security updates are eligible for a discount, although regular subscriptions and monthly payments for alarm systems are not eligible.

“This is just one part of our government's plan to make communities safer and reduce costs for Manitobans,” Wiebe said.

“By taking advantage of this discount, people can equip their homes with cameras, lights or other security measures and save some money while doing it.”

Applications for the rebates, first announced in the province's 2024 budget, are on a first-come, first-served basis.
