The Manitoba government has recently announced a **$300 rebate** for security upgrades at homes and small businesses¹[1]. This initiative is part of the provincial budget for 2024 and aims to improve community safety by assisting homeowners and business owners in purchasing security equipment such as security cameras, alarm systems, motion detectors, and more²[2].
Here are some key points about the rebate:
- The rebate is available for items including **security cameras** and other security upgrades¹[1].
- It is applicable to purchases made after **September 1, 2023**, and the application system for the rebate will launch in **June 2024**³[4].
- The rebate will be delivered on a **first-come, first-served basis**⁴[5].
- Eligible upgrades include security cameras, alarm systems, motion detectors, reinforced doors or windows, anti-graffiti film, and more³[4].
- Ongoing subscriptions or monthly fees for existing alarm systems are **not eligible**; only equipment associated with the alarm is covered by the rebate³[4].
- Manitobans with multiple homes or business locations in the province will only be eligible to apply for one location⁴[5].
This rebate is a great opportunity for small business owners in Manitoba to enhance their security measures and potentially save on costs. If you're interested, it would be wise to prepare for the application process in June to ensure you can take advantage of this offer.
