MPI provides compulsory auto insurance (Autopac) for Manitoba residents and also runs driver licensing and vehicle registration under The Drivers and Vehicles Act. Its products are funded by premiums and investment income, with most revenue reinvested into claims benefits, and the basic Autopac coverage is supplemented by optional extension options sold against private insurers. MPI differs from private insurers through its government ownership, universal mandate, and a focus on reinvestment and rate stability rather than profit. Its goal is to offer universal, affordable auto insurance while maintaining financial self-sufficiency and promoting road safety.

Manitoba Public Insurance donates $1.2 million in collision repair equipment to RRC Polytech. Date published: 7/30/2026 As part of its ongoing commitment to advancing a strong, sustainable auto repair industry, Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) is proud to announce a donation of approximately $1.2 million worth of specialized collision repair tools and technology to RRC Polytech's Collision Repair and Refinishing Program. The contribution includes over 200 individual pieces, including major frame repair systems, welders, tire service and plastic repair equipment, and specialized collision repair tooling, that were previously part of MPI's physical damage automotive research and training operations. It will now be used to help address the critical shortage of skilled collision repair technicians in Manitoba by strengthening advanced level technical training at RRC Polytech. "This is an excellent example of how our partnership continues to support students and strengthen Manitoba's skilled trades workforce," said the Honourable Matt Wiebe, Minister Responsible for MPI. "By ensuring future technicians have access to specialized, industry standard equipment, MPI and RRC Polytech are providing opportunities for students to hone their skills today, and ensure the sector has skilled professionals moving forward." The donation builds on MPI's long-standing dedication to supporting Manitoba's collision repair industry. "A key part of MPI's mission is to help create safer roads for everyone, and we believe that strengthening a healthy, sustainable repair sector is a significant part of that commitment," said Carmen Nedohin, MPI Board Chair. "Through ongoing work with our repair association partners on education opportunities, scholarships as well as this contribution to RRC Polytech, MPI is proud to be helping prepare the next generation of professionals for the increasingly complex vehicles and technologies they will encounter in the workplace." As Manitoba's only post-secondary institution offering Levels 2 through 4 of apprenticeship training in collision repair, RRC Polytech is uniquely positioned to use this advanced equipment to help prepare tomorrow's technicians. "At RRC Polytech, we are committed to providing students with the tools they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving workforce," said Lloyd Schreyer, RRC Polytech Board Chair. "The success of our students is strengthened by partners like MPI, who recognize the impact of our training and support it with innovative solutions that enrich the learning experience." Some of the donated equipment includes a tire balancing and tire changing machine, which will help students learn industry-standard wheel and tire service procedures; a nitrogen welding system for plastic repair, which teaches repair-first techniques that allow damaged plastic components to be safely restored; and a fume extraction system; which removes welding fumes and airborne contaminants from the work area. The equipment is set to benefit more than 400 students enrolled in transportation trades programs each year. "As a student at RRC Polytech, I've been fortunate to train on the same state-of-the-art equipment used in industry," said Cassandra Foy, Skills Canada gold medalist and RRC Polytech student. "Thanks to MPI's support, my classmates, future students, and I will have even more opportunities to develop our skills and prepare for successful careers. Thank you to MPI for their incredible support!" The equipment, now located at RRC Polytech's Notre Dame Campus, will be incorporated into the Collision Repair and Refinishing Program's curriculum for courses beginning this fall.

MPI closes service centres in Dauphin, Swan River due to flooding. July 2, 2026 10:25 AM | News An aerial visual shows the extensive overland flooding in Dauphin, Manitoba, as posted July 1, 2026. (DAUPHIN & AREA RCMP / FACEBOOK) Manitoba Public Insurance has closed its service and claim centres in Dauphin and Swan River due to overland flooding. MPI says both locations are shutting their doors Thursday, and all scheduled services for today have been cancelled. Customers will be contacted to reschedule their appointments when road conditions allow. "MPI will continue to monitor the situation and reopen the centres when conditions allow," the Crown corporation said in a release. The City of Dauphin said roughly 115 millimetres of rain had fallen since Sunday and had caused, among other things, widespread flooding. Residents were also told to avoid non-essential travel to avoid creating additional hazards. Dauphin officially declared a local state of emergency on Wednesday due to the recent significant rainfall. - With files from The Canadian Press Winnipeg's quick daily News brief.

MPI opens 2nd centre to manage hail claims after major storm. Over 25,000 claims so far from June 9 hailstorm, Manitoba Public Insurance says. Justin Fiacconi · CBC News · Posted: Jun 25, 2026 9:45 AM PDT | Last Updated: 1 hour ago Estimated 2 minutes Social sharing. Manitoba Public Insurance has opened a second hail response centre to manage what it says is the largest number of claims ever received for a single-weather event. The Crown corporation has now received over 25,000 claims from a severe storm that swept through southern Manitoba on June 9, bringing heavy rain and hailstones the size of a baseball in some areas. That means MPI has already had more claims than the previous record of 24,000, set after a 1996 hailstorm, the corporation said in a Thursday news release. Last week, MPI vice-president and chief claims officer John Bowering said the insurer expects to see more than 30,000 claims from the June 9 storm. To manage the volume of claims, MPI opened a dedicated hail response centre at its Gateway service centre on June 17, where claimants can schedule an appointment for a damage assessment. More than 1,800 assessments have been completed at that centre, MPI says. The second centre - which opened Thursday at MPI's service centre at 1284 Main St. - will also offer appointments for damage assessments for customers in Winnipeg and surrounding areas. MPI says it's prepared to offer 400 appointments daily between the two hail centres. The public insurer said after getting more than 200 claims in the Interlake region, it is also offering damage assessments at its service centre in Arborg.

MPI said Monday it has received approximately 20,000 claims since last week's severe weather event and remains on pace to surpass the highest number of claims ever received from a single weather incident in Manitoba. The Crown corporation said the new process is designed to speed up service and provide customers with more options as claim volumes continue to grow. - Ty Dilello is a reporter for the Winnipeg Sun.

MPI launches Manitoba Collision Dashboard to enhance access to road safety data. * Corwyn Friesen, mySteinbach * Posted: 04/30/2026 at 9:30 am Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) has launched a new Manitoba Collision Dashboard, providing an easier way to access up-to-date collision data. Available through MPI's website, the new dashboard increases transparency around collision data by providing at-a-glance access to key road safety information, including the number of fatalities and injuries reported on Manitoba's roadways. Users can view, filter and explore collision statistics through interactive dashboard views, offering a more accessible and timelier alternative to the previous report format. "MPI's commitment to making our roads safer is a core part of our mandate, and timely access to data is essential to understanding the facts about collisions and their contributing factors across the province," says Maria Campos, Vice President & Chief Customer and Product Officer. "By making this information easier to access, we hope to raise awareness of trends as they emerge and better support our partners in reducing dangerous driving behaviours." The new dashboard replaces the Traffic Collision Statistics Report (TCSR), which was previously updated on an annual basis. The dashboard will be updated monthly, using data from law enforcement agencies and MPI's claims team, ensuring more current and relevant information is available. Previous years' TCSRs will remain available on MPI's website. "Providing reliable, up-to-date collision data in this new way will help build greater understanding of current road safety issues, support the media in accessing statistics and better assist MPI's partners in developing prevention and enforcement initiatives across the province," says Campos. All data is analyzed before being added to the dashboard, and all personally identifiable information is removed to ensure accuracy and responsible use. The Manitoba Collision Dashboard is available 24/7 at mpi.mb.ca.
