Description

The City of Winnipeg is seeking a partner to support the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Services (WFPS) – Fire Safety House through sponsorship of a dedicated towing vehicle.
The Fire Safety House is a popular educational tool that provides fire prevention and life saving training to children and adults. The Fire Safety House teaches participants how to develop an escape plan for their homes in the event of a fire as well as fire prevention strategies. The Fire Safety House is towed to numerous schools, daycares, community events and festivals from May through to the end of August and is stored during the off season. Currently, WFPS fleet vehicles are used to transport the trailer to and from its destinations, however this has been an area of concern as availability of a vehicle capable of towing the trailer needs to be well planned in advance. Obtaining a dedicated vehicle that meets the needs to tow the trailer will address this concern.
The Fire Safety House program is busy over 90% of the time from May-August and provides an excellent medium for community outreach. This exposure will be of great value to a vehicle sponsor to promote their business and to demonstrate their commitment to community and safety for children and families.

This vital program has been proven to save lives.

The Sponsor of WFPS Fire Safety House towing vehicle sponsorship opportunity will receive a number of valuable benefits including, but not limited to:

- ability to brand the vehicle with company logo and messaging;
- exposure at numerous family targeted events throughout Winnipeg from May – August;
- exposure on Winnipeg streets and in traffic as the vehicle is towed from destination to destination;
- exposure on the City of Winnipeg and WFPS websites which have over 1.3 million annual views; osting on the City of Winnipeg social media channels (Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn) with accumulated 229,000 followers; and
- public relations exposure and your brand having a positive affiliation with a program that supports communities and saves lives.
The Sponsorship under the Sponsorship Agreement shall consist of supporting WFPS with acquisition of a vehicle capable of towing the Fire Safety House. Sponsorship can be in one of the following forms:
- procurement and supply of a vehicle that meets the vehicle requirements;
- providing a vehicle on a paid lease that meets the vehicle requirements; or
- providing cash which will be used to either purchase or lease a vehicle that meets the vehicle requirements.
