A new diversified towing model for the City of Winnipeg was announced on Monday.

The City said it will "Improve customer experience while fostering growth and fair competition for Manitoba's towing industry."

Previously, the centralized towing model that MPI used had only one vendor for claim-related towing services. MPI has now selected five towing providers in Winnipeg: Champion Towing, Bison Towing, Sprinter Towing, Hi-Way Towing, and Dr Hook Towing through a competitive procurement process.
