The Tire Stewardship Manitoba (TSM) Community Demonstration Grant Program has raised the amount of matching funds available for the use of recycled tire products made from Manitoba tires in projects delivered by local governments, community and youth groups, Aboriginal organizations, and First Nation communities. Eligible applicants (communities and non-profit organizations) may now receive onetime matching grants up to $20,000 to use and benefit from a wide range of recycled tire products.
Scrap tires collected are recycled into crumb fibre and used to produce products such as athletic tracks and non-slip pavers for patios, walkways and playgrounds.
