The province has expanded the Safe at Home Manitoba grant program with an additional $2 million bringing the total spent on the program to $5 million.
The funding is used to create made in Manitoba content like streaming of performance arts, at-home fitnesses, cooking classes, programs for children as well as resources for seniors and others.
“The Safe at Home Manitoba program has been a tremendous success in helping to improve the quality of life for many Manitobans in all regions of the province, while helping us stop the spread of COVID-19,” said Sport, Culture and Heritage Minister Cathy Cox. “This pandemic is far from over, which is why it is so important that we continue to offer ways for Manitobans to stay ‘safe at home’. We are proud to expand this innovative and creative initiative to offer over 300 virtual programs to run throughout the winter months to keep Manitobans busy, active, entertained and, most importantly, safe.”
Manitoba also invested more than $440,000 in an advertising campaign to promote the Safe at Home program. The campaign began in November 2020 and is scheduled to end at the end of March 2021.
