Why we show the details

We don't want you relying on outdated rebate information

Programs change, eligibility rules change and funding can change. Every program on this page shows its administrator, the province it applies in, its current published amount, its conditions, the official source and the date we last checked it.

Official sources used on this page

We do not use third-party blogs or rebate-aggregator sites as the authority for any figure here. Where an official page did not state a single unambiguous amount, we have said so on the card instead of publishing a number.
